I'm having problems with 3Dmark03 recognizing my cpu speed. Anytime I get over 320fsb it reports the cpu speed wrong. The bench runs fine and I get a score and publish it, but it shows my speed as a lot slower than it is, the faster I run it the worse it is. At 320X14 is shows the correct speed, at 325X14 it shows around 3.2ghz, and at 330X14 is shows 1.5ghz :eek: Is anyone else having a problem like this, or can anyone help me figure it out???

Could some of us be permitted to supply our stats today? Just got my comp up and running again. DX 9.0C is being installed as we speak annd next up is 3Dmark 03.

I can supply the scores in an hour. It'll be an untweaked run but at least I'll still be in the race :s

Considering I am not ready to start the next event and you are not alone we will allow for one more day of entries.

Are you guys ok with a late entry from shinymod? He was having PC problems entering in time but he submitted a score.

late entries are ok for me as:
1) I have problems myself
2) as long as it isn't like a week overtime.... who cores :)

the grandprix is just for fun and I'd hate to have to drop out just because of a stupid disk failure :p:


Thanks fugger!!!!!!!!!
score commming up for me....

I am going to change my entry slightly. I am going to run in the single card class instead of the sli class since the sli 7800s are still buggy and you cant even post a score over 30k yet on the orb.

Pics to come real soon, just have to upload them from camera

Gryph

late entrys are fine by me toooo.

Of course late entries should be accepted...it'll just allow me to get closer to 20k single card air cooling. :D

@ the moment I'm top of the bill for AXP :D

show me that hardware please :p:

First time I'd ever win something if I can keep this up. Today I noticed my card IS a decent clocker ont he GPU if teamed up with my Room fan :slobber: :D

Could it be the soft mod or possibly the time you got the drivers. I recently grabbed the 77.72 when they first were released but weren't WHQL yet. Each time I installed from that file I got the non whql message. Downloaded a newer copy and all is well with those.

late entries are fine, i launched the compo a few hours late so how could i complain about some scores beeing a few hours late ;) :D

unstuck this thread to make room for the week2 discussions :)

So what time can we officially post in week1 until?
