Hampti Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Puh not a cheap competition. For climbing the top of the rank you need a core i5 or a really good s775 sys. Am i right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 The question is ... what platform to choose? 890GX seems to be the obvious choice, but I think the Intel GMA HD should get pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 'cheap-ish'. 890GX or H55 should do the trick, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraRaptor Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Just 'cause of "april fools" - is integrated notebook graphics allowed? I have Gateway laptop with M9800GTS and graphics is integrated there - no MXM or something like that))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted April 1, 2010 Crew Share Posted April 1, 2010 It's discrete If you have a SATA controller like Marvell on your MoBo - it isn't called integrated, it's anyway discrete. more interesting is what is allowed in the competition. Yeah, I've read the rules page. I mean the "undocumented" ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 what if I solder GTX280 directly to the motherboard , does it count as integrated VGA ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Antinomy Posted April 1, 2010 Crew Share Posted April 1, 2010 Better solder ot right on i7 980X wafer - you'll get a uber integrated CPU graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BadMoJoe Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 your submission does not comply(error) Only make submissions with a integrated videocard. your submission does not comply(error)A verification link is required. The submision page is kicking out this 82845G Integrated Graphics stating it is not an integrated graphics??? I used the pull down list in the videocard for my intergated chip this is listed. What is the verifcation link? what box does this link go into? Automated verifcation system is looking for a link in a screenshot shot entry box?

jmke Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Intel GMA qualifies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 There was a bug in the limitations, I think. The graphics card is linked to the right socket in any case. Should be fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzz3l Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well...maybe we buy an s775 Board and test it... But it will be an hard competition between H55 and 775... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I should really make the list of average score public, shouldn't I . What S775 platform are you thinking of? This is the higehst integrated graphics score at the moment: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/980824_msimax_3dmark_2001_radeon_hd_4290_33322_marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario1 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well...maybe we buy an s775 Board and test it... But it will be an hard competition between H55 and 775... Nah... a good overclocker equipped with c2q extreeme and maybe X48 chipset mobo (or the good old P45 on an Asus Maximus XXX mobo), LN2 cooling hightest pci-e&fsb oc, ram oc... The results will be the same as a H55 motherboard... @ the moment core 2 quad extreeme (or a good xeon) could outperform i7! I'm not sure about X6 and the newest i7, but the results will be similar.

Crew Antinomy Posted April 1, 2010 Crew Share Posted April 1, 2010 I didn't know that X48 and P45 have an integrated GPU, can you show us some street magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Leeghoofd Posted April 8, 2010 Crew Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) I can't seem to publish my results (latest 3D01 V330) If I pop in my GTX 285, no issues, it allows me to publish the score. If I let the IGP do it's thing ,it stays private no matter what... Am I missing something here ? Mobo is an ASrock 890GX Extreme3, IGP ATI 4290 ( generic VGA detected by 3DMark is mentioned in the ORB ) But yet it recognises the 4290 in the systeminfo tab... This really pisses me off... lol Edited April 8, 2010 by Leeghoofd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0lsty Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 have the same problem as Leeghoofd . Can't make result public on ORB . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted April 9, 2010 Crew Share Posted April 9, 2010 I wish Hwbot crew would skip the submission link... as more 890GX users will follow... I want to post my 35K score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
