IanCutress Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Feb 14th, 00:00? Which time zone is that. Would be nice to have a countdown on the page to the start. I love these type of comps, but they require you to start right on the button and within a couple of hours, the score usually falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanCutress Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I guess we're going to have to use MSI branded AMD cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoro Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) yeap, MSI AMD VGAs and AMD CPUs i guess but what about mobos? Massman said: Only requirement is brand of VGA in the first 3 stages. There's no mobo limitation." that's cool! Edited February 9, 2011 by zoro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Too bad for me again, I can use my mobo and my GPU is MSI the problem is that is nVidia chipset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massman said: Only requirement is brand of VGA in the first 3 stages. Brand? What, as in AMD vs. NVIDIA brand, or MSI vs Gigabyte Brand AMD?

saint19 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Brand? What, as in AMD vs. NVIDIA brand, or MSI vs Gigabyte Brand AMD? I think that are both, MSI AMD (MSI 6850). @Massman: Tom's hardware also is referring to the contest: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Eyes-On-The-Prize-DirectX-11-3DMark-11-Radeon-6970-Lightning,12171.html Edited February 10, 2011 by saint19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoqolatl Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Shall I make another screenshot with the new background, or is the current one enough? I did not reboot and I still have all the windows open (3dm11, gpu-z, cpu-z). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Fyi, for those who are wondering about the starting time of each stage. Since this is a WW contest, we've done it like this: Stage 1: 00.00h CET Stage 2: 06.00h CET Stage 3: 12.00h CET Stage 4: 18.00h CET Shall I make another screenshot with the new background, or is the current one enough? I did not reboot and I still have all the windows open (3dm11, gpu-z, cpu-z). Oh, that would be cool! Just edit the score with the new screenshot.

xoqolatl Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I tried to edit the score but the image won't refresh Here it is: And here's how i did it: I did some pre-testing the day before (thats the first three rows of scores) to get an idea how does my setup score at different clocks. I also did some repeatability testing (how much can the score vary if ran time and time again on same clocks) not shown here. I sat down slamming F5 until the target score appeared, and it took me eight runs, 5 of them at the same clocks, to hit the spot. Also the Dimmu Borgir tweak helped Edited February 14, 2011 by xoqolatl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 S*** unfortunately I haven't got any msi card atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
