The way Charles was talking :banana::banana::banana::banana: before the comp, then if it was "bugged", it was done on purpose ;)

It shouldn't be too hard for Gigabyte (hicookie) to try to replicate the result with the clocks / settings Fugger & Vapor used. Now people seem to think that GOOC 2009 final was won thanks to bugged GT2 score and that is not good for the winners / competition reputation. Any thoughts?
somebody has to be able to replicate those results with GT2 > otherwise that run is bugged :-/
If I'm not mistaken, Fugger/Vapor submitted another result before this one. I reckon GBT does still have this one as well, no?
The BEST GT2 is mainly equal to GT1 MAX.... ;)
MACMAC, you say "Having executed their plan perfectly, and with the help of a clever old school tweak, Team USA 1 crushed the competition in both graphics and overall scores."
i tought you had figured what tweak was used :p:
Well even if I knew, I wouldn't reveal it. Journalistic integrity and such ;)
Lots of teams share info with me during these competitions, intentionally or not, and I make sure to keep it to myself. It is up to the individual teams to share their knowledge with others.
MACMAC said "with the help of a clever old school tweak"
Sending you over to stand next to another team has nothing to do with riva!
For anyone that doesn't know, MACMAC standing next to you = lockup :p::D:D
So, basicly this old skool tweak consists of the following actions:
- Get the attention of the nearby standing MACMAC
- Raise arm
- Raise hand
- Raise one finger
- Shout: "Get the f*ck out of here!!!"
Setup tweaked :)
:p:
macmac eric already mentioned D3D overrider
thats not what got them the extra FPS
if there is a geniune tweak in GT2 TeamUSA should communicate to judges and have this validated
there are a lot of old school benchers on HWBOT yet no one has managed to pull off this kind of GT2
I JUST re-tested the D3D with the GTX 260 (because I'm preparing for our tommorow regional Greek finals for the MSI on Vantage) and I get NO gain at all..... :(
EDIT:
Drivers used:
181.20
181.22
182.08
182.50
185.85
Thanks M8....
I have to confess that the MSI GTX260 with the front panel, ROCKS BIG TIME..... :D
It does with the default heatsink and after mods, 810MHz Core / Shaders I don't remember (calculate it :D ), and 1295MHz rams.... :)
We came prepared to win, it was not a bug and the tools were on the hard drive to duplicate. George will figure it out, I see he is on a mission.
Patrick did good, he did not effect our runs at all.
Miah, The Aussies know I come to have fun.
If the score had to be validated on the FM orb ... would you be able to publish the result?
ROFL a 30% legit tweak you say hey hehehehe ok man
Legit for the competition =/= legit on FM orb ;)
