Ah! So that was his plan! I wondered every time he said we were going to kick some butt. I didn't know he meant my butt :(Quote:

If you think the Danish qualifier was uneven, look at this, which is the Swedish result after I've been disqualified... I suppose crappy oc'ers (I'm harsh, I know) are more important to promote than those who at least come up with some half decent scores. The next time you do this, MSI, make sure to have clearer rules before you start the competition instead of wasting my time and money.

wtf you were disqualified in the country you live in now cos you have double citizenship in Finland and in Sweden... that does not make any sense msi really should have though this thing trough more.. ohh well i hope they wise up and get it right next time
:rofl: I won the 1st week Lords of Overclocking North America for Futuremark. Just received an email, my prize is.. an MSI X58 motherboard! Looks like I'm competing in at least the 1st round of the North America qualifier. I'm screwed on the 2nd round though, no GTX295s :(
Bummer dude, those scores are pathetic. A noob with an E8600 on single-stage could achieve them :rolleyes:Quote:

Yeah, it seems so. I met up with Sampsa last night, and even though he'd had a few beers he still made it pretty clear that MSI didn't like it. At least I got to pick which country to get disqualified in, which in this case is a pretty easy choice. I mean, what would you rather pick, a N285GTX SuperPipe OC or an X58 Eclipse when you've already got a Bloodrage? Sure I'd have both, maybe sell the mobo, but it seems I won't get that. I enjoyed the finnish competition way more as well, as it was a real competition with nice people in the Muropaketti forums, kudos to all competing finns.Quote:

And now everybody's :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ing about me competing in two countries, both in Finland and Sweden, or to be completely fair, it's been a week since the competition ended in Finland so they've sort of calmed down a bit. I don't see what the Swedes are on about though, with those scores... There was at least a few good scores in Finland, bearing in mind that not everyone can afford a GTX295 and a good CPU.Quote:

@ Mean Machine:
yeah, i don't really understand why people are complaining.
I think you got some pretty nice scores there, and you played fully by the rules, so i don't see any problems.
Good job! I hope it turns out in a positive way :up:
The scores were decent, I probably could've done a bit better, but since neither you or crotale were going to compete and I knew elmor/Kinc had good CPU's, I was fried anyways, so I opted to just post my scores and cash in the prizes... It isn't finalized yet, but I suppose we'll hear more of this tomorrow when Sampsa hears from MSI.Quote:

Was just poking around on the MOA site and found this

Surprised me, I could have sworn I saw Vantage mentioned somewhere on the site itself. Regardless, seems kinda odd to pick 16M and 32M given how similar they are, not to mention both being 2d. Least it means you don't need to buy 295s to be competitive :shrug:
Edit: WTF, they are going to make us bench 32M on Vista?
The more I look at this the more is seems like it is supposed to be Vantage and they just wrote the wrong thing. First of all, Vista is required and second, further down the page it mentions PhysX enabled.
WTF?!?!? How lame is that.. I could have sworn it was Pi then 3d. But Pi then More pi? Very weird. I figure if you win 16m, you will win 32m. Its not like 1m vs 32m.
Here is the page that shows both phase. I really think its a typo on phase 2.

Looks like the level of organisation is rather consistent all over the globe....
lol! Time to bone up on my SPi 32M benching. Looks like it is time to go shopping for a w3540.
Any Update Rules for SEA? there's no info yet for the benchmark in phase 1 and 2 at msi site until now....
