gonna check it out in 5 days :p:
Thx for the heads up!
Is a TWKR considered "commercially available hardware"? Going to lean towards no :(
I think TWKR will be prohibited, otherwise this competition unfair at all :yepp:Quote:

Still though, at a stock 2GHz, that's a 200% OC so you get to double your score :eek:Quote:

Why'd you have to ruin my surprise? :DQuote:

Interesting, I'm not entirely clear on the rules though. Might have to give it a shot if I can find a good enough chip.
If something says "NOT FOR RESALE" it's not commercially available... The prizes were a bit boring as well, but I'll see if I'll give it a go anyways, gotta find the time.
:ROTF:Challenging Competition.... Especially on wt hardware to use.... I think a good 940BE will be having a great advantage
Yes, if you use TWKR(Phneom II 42) only can join overall competitionQuote:

SNiiPE_DoGG - exactly my words.... not even worth ordering LN2 for that...

About 6-7 years ago anybody would like to score as high as possible just to say " I'm better than you ...." and now, WTF, we compete for prizes ????
interesting that they use 3D06 and not their new 3DMark
well I am just saying that the prizes are weak...Quote:

can I use different CPU for 3DMark submission and for CPU submission?
Dudes, it needs Futuremark approved drivers, and there are none for Win7 :(
hmm I wonder how much my 720 BE is worth unlocked.
As far as there choice for 06 over vantage.....well I guess they don't want guys killing mobo's to all arrive at the same 5.7ish wall.
Oh really? I must be special then ;)Quote:

An I repeat the question, if somebody has an answer:
Can we use different CPUs for 3D06 and for %OC?
