it we be good if we could use the weekend:D
guys Vince already modified the finish date like 2 times bcoz of XS downtime, i pushed 01 in last 2 days like many hours and i still not reached the score i wanted but actually it doesnt matter, you could do results for fun after the competition as well and i guess everybody will, and thats the point... like Oliver says keep 2k1ing it :D
btw very nice run gprhellas, congrats :)
May 8th midnight eastern standard time is when the teks gets awarded, of course you guys can keep pushing it afterwards though :D
got some LN2 but i dont think i'll need it
will hit the benchroom tonight regardless
i want to see a half decent score from this damn card :D
Dinos don't know mate, but seeing crusty hitting 1230MHz core @ dry ice without mods could only mean one thing ... even more on LN2 :yepp: Now what if hipro had one huh ? :D hehe eeeeeeeeeeek
I wish one could clarify what on earth is going on with X58 + 2k1 nature ... 1021 fps @ 1090MHz core is just sad :( Βut we won't give up, no matter what !
okay my story :)
here we are on the final day and it seemd like a week ago i couldnt make any competitive result for the dual top5, i had a terrible RE, 600fsb not fully 3dstable on air only on 2d (like Bills banana edition lol) and my DA1200 psu died also, but i got new psu and RE and its luckily a nice one, so now only gpu is limiting me on air... like an hour ago something happend with nature, it seems only one gpu works for now and im almost sick of it, pushing since 2 days, so i think i got my final score with GTX 295. i will try something for fun with 4890 later but sadly i dont have dice or ln2 atm...
my run order, different lod for every tests, D3D, nHancer, running CL like 6-7 times to get the best score, pcie 117mhz (above bsod right away i boot into windows), PL8, 200strap, 3:5 divider

keep the results coming guys, its already countdown :D
SS wasnt able to give me even 1150Mhz in nature so i dont have anything decent to compete with here hehe
GL fellas
Hmm, what could this puppy be? :)
http://forum.crazypc.ro/attachment.p...5&d=1241790934
hmm i7 + 4890? how about nature? :D
I don't know what this is. Maybe if dinos shows us his frames we will see :)
vince , i'll got my E8600 + my ddr2 GMH modules . would mind chaning the contest time and extend it ?
( maybe 7*600 for CPU and 1200 mhz 4-4-4-12 for memory will be good )
Thanks :up:
Things didn't worked that good for me either :(! It seems that this bloody Nehalem is a very limiting factor for Nature score. So, yesterday, equiped with my trusty i7 920 C0 @ 4800MHz uncore speed with RAM @ 1600MHz 6-6-6-18-44-1T (Micron D9JNM) I began testing with GeForce GTX275 on LN2. The CPU was on SS to obtain that uncore speed.
I runned in the order DL-LL-DH-LH-CL-CH-N (after that I repeated CL if I got a bad run) + D3D Overrider + LOD. I got very good frames in all the tests (due to high uncore, driver tweaks and very tight RAM subtimings - TRFC=44) except Nature (goddamn X58 mother:banana::banana::banana::banana: chipset :D).
The problem was that the Nature scaled very well with VGA on air (8-10fps each 10MHz on GPU) but from a point above (760-770MHz) the gain was significantly lower (4-5fps each 10MHz on GPU) and decreasing as the frequency got higher. Well, I thought why this happened and the only logical explanation that came into my head was that 4200Mhz on a Core i7 isn't enough for the GTX275 to unleash it's full potential in Nature. At 780Mhz GPU clock I got like 1100fps and at 840Mhz something around 1126fps....
I keeped trying different tricks and higher frequency but still the Nature sucked :(. The score I saved isn't the best one I've seen but I post it here for posterity :)! With the frames I got in this score and IF the Nature was at 1200fps the score would have been 90700-90800.....

Best regards,
matose
I have played ~5035MHz Northbridge speed and ~1089-1093MHz rams at 7-7-7-20-1T on the Bloodrage and I got bulls with the Nehalem... :D
George, what VGA card and what Nature did you get? :D
With the 4870 at 1150MHz, I had wierd Nature scores....From 1026 to 1080fps depending on the multi of the CPU and trying to keep the Rams and the QPI at almost the same frequencies....ONLY by playing with the multipliers, I was getting different fps.....Wierd!....
With the GTX295 (on air and for testing before I put the 4870), I had the same wierd behavior.... :mad:
Well, as George said, ATI deals a very hard game in Nature on i7, even with the system tricks he told us about a few weeks ago (NB frequency) - thank you very much hipro for pointing the benefits of Uncore overclocking in 2k1, that helped A LOT.
On the other hand....the green side brings us into the 9xk's. I am dying here with Micutzu for more LN2. Please ship us a full tank, we are going low on LN2 now...and 1GHz GPU is not a problem...We needz more LN2....:yepp:
http://forum.crazypc.ro/attachment.p...7&d=1241811638
sad to hear about issues hipro and dinos i would love to see some 'fresh blood' from both of you :( for sure you've already made pretty damn nice effort for this challenge ;)
Monstru and Micutzu, this is insane with i7 over 90k :eek: finally i7 with D0 seems compeditive for win, really exciting :D cant wait to see the final score, hope ln2 will hold out for you :)
So just to be sure, we still have 7h30min from now right ?
Thanks Bala !
np and yes, i was setting up my XS time to EST time zone under the challenge but i think i will sleep quite deeply when the time will up in our time zone at 6:00 AM tomorrow :D
Amazing run with i7 Monstru! Well done bro!:D
Sad to hear that hipro but I think that you will have backup score:D
so we wont have more scores from George? :confused::) i know my romanian bros are pushing and anyone more ??? come on guys give some teasing :D i hope we may have time to try one more but still cant reach brandy, my dewar is empy :p:
Oh c'mon boys, Micutzu and I are really pushing, but don't you imagine "old" hipro does not have a back-up score. I can only imagine what he did with i7 and GTX 285 @ 1100 / 1300MHZ :D
Thank you very much sofos1990!
See you in a few hours, get your backups ready ( I have mine :D )
This is getting very exciting :D , waiting to ses the final results.
chispy.
This is my best and my last score.:D
Maybe someone is very lucky because my GX2 passed away 2 days ago so it’s impossible to do something better.
The only think that remains is the axe mode for my card.:cool:
I have to say that was a fine competition and a big opportunity for us all to improve our selves. I hope that in the future they will be and other competitions like this one.
And a big thanks to K|ng|Pin for his fine idea about that competition.:clap:

LOL nice
1162 nature and all heheheh
imagine nature cap there damn
i only did a quick run while testing i7 on air and was looking at easy 91K but forget about nature cap on i7 with ATI :rofl:
nothing special really....monstru shown monst(ar)ru FPS earlier :D

is the deadline western time? or eastern?
monster and my little brother did great job what aboout my greek friends where are you?
They are sleeping right now :p: It's 6am here in Greece :D
congrats my friends, we were about at 67790 :( but somehow our vga didnt work enough to complete our session :((((
So that's it ? Contest is over ?
It should be over by now.
Here's a pic of the setup:
http://forum.crazypc.ro/attachment.p...1&d=1241851344
Our Nature still needs work :shakes:
Thanks guys..:) Contest is over or no? I dont know..
yes i guess its over aristidis its already Saturday, 9 May 4:45:49 a.m in EST time zone :)
congrats for everyone, really nice job in the 24th hour Monstru and Micutzu i never thought i7 will beat C2D in the end, this result is huge, impressed me really... :up:
Nice job Monstru and Micutzu..well done bros!!!
Grate job Monstru and Micutzu congrats. Outstanding score with i7:clap:
Congrats to you buddy also, you have an excellent score ! Sorry to hear about your GX2 though.
i hope vince wants to change the end time :D
Thank you guys!!!
It has been a fantastic ride, and I have learned a LOT about 2k1 these days. My full respect to K|ngp|n for this competition, my deepest respect to hipro for his outstanding experience, skills and understanding of this game, he really pointed out the way for us a few weeks back, too bad that sometimes life doesn't allways allow us to finish what we have begun. :(
Also, my best regards and respect for hey, you put up a great fight little bro, and also for the heavy-weights Aristidis and GPRHellas, who dominated the dual-GPU competition. And in the end, congratulations to everybody that worked hard and came up with results in this competition, this is the true spirit of overclocking and I am proud to have been a part of this.
In the end, you all know that all my respect and friendship goes to my team-mate Micutzu, but also matose (who was with us all the way in spirit, support and advice).
Thanks for sharing all of your results during the competition guys, Ive learned a lot reading through your posts on your own learnings and experiences. I hope there are more challenges like this one in the future :clap: :clap: :clap:
I suggest next challange should be "lowest CPU clock to pass 100k in 3D2001" :D
I think that we have won the one of two pots :D
Congrats to the winning guys...... :) :up:
Unfortunatelly I didn't have time to bench these days.... :(
Winning comps are:
1. SINGLE = ATI 4890 at 1250MHz on i7 platform
2. DUAL (multi) = 2 x ATI 4890 at 1150MHz - 1200MHz on Core 2 Duo platform
:)
George i dont think you can do anything with that low nature score what the ATI card and the i7 combination makes together even if you are running at 1250mhz, i made also few runs like dinos for fun with 4890 and i7, and even cant get near of 1000fps in nature maxed out on air, but sure you can proof the opposite anytime and show some hipro magic :D
edit: but actually this all nothing matters guys, after the competition ended and the best scores are out its always easy to calculate better in theory :p:
George, for the past couple of days I've been trying to chase your score on a 4890. Out of 2 days straight of 01, I had only two runs in total that would've had a chance to beat you but never got a nature for either, and that too only by a margin of 20 or so points. You and crustytheclown really did one hell of a job with those runs...90.2k+ isn't easy at all with ATi, in fact I think it's actually easier with nVidia (GTX280) :S :bows:
Congrats to Monstru and aristidis :clap:
congrats to winners and runner ups . specially congrats george and monstru their results were so amazing !!! :clap:
Unfortunately i got my E8600 and GMH modules today so i couldn't participate this time ( even vince change the end time again :D , hope for that :) ) .
Pretty much true buddy, at 1150/1250 we were still under 90k (~ 1080 Nature) so we gave up on ATI, max benchable clocks were around 1200/1300 but the scaling is worse and worse over a certain limit on i7. This was the score with aircooled VGA:
http://forum.crazypc.ro/attachment.p...1&d=1241861959
Congratulations to the winners on this competition and the runner ups too ;), i felt the true spirit of overclocking from all of you guys since day one , it was an awsome competition , and everybody reading this tread day by day enjoy it. This is what overclocking should be about , bringing the community closer to each other. Great Job on making this competition Vince , my deepest respect for you.
chispy.
Congrats for my teammates, Monstru and Micutzu, and of course for aristidis :clap: :toast:.
Contest is over?
Congrats to the winners!:D
Monstru your score really rocks.Nature is so impressive with i7!
Of course congrats to k|ngp|n for making this competition:D
If the competition isn't over, keep 2k1ing bros!:D
2x4890 @ 1230/1250.....not a winning combination trust me.These gpus don't scale nature at all,at least at 4200MHz cpu.
Congratulations for winners and everybody who runs on this competition! I feel same as chispy said..AND it's truely, this contest was very exciting too, when XS was offline, hey and me did some "barcoba" on msn:ROTF: Later my card died once, but I could repair, so this slowly me on improving..Yesteryday I found better order, so I will continue my skill improve in 01, plan is beat 90k with green air..:)
This contest (was) awesome, and I very enjoyed! Thanks and respect to Vince! :worship:
Been really tied up past week guys, I'll get caught up with the thread this weekend and see who wins what. Congratz to those that got the units and also everyone else that did well!!
Most importantly, did we all learn a little something about 01'?? :D
what a question..:rofl: a LOT..:up:
I would like to advise please no close this thread, only change thread name to something " 3DMARK 2K1 low clock challenge II -offline" or other, so more new people can learn, whos interest 2K1..and of course we can continue for fun :)
Conggratz FTW...
I've learned so much things from this thread... lots of shared... especially with different game order... hope more similar thread next time like this.... :up:
congrats guys
no way 1250 would hit cap with i7 :(
i7 sux hard lol
Officially the sweetest mount ever.
Pwanage setup dino.
Why isn't the first post updated, and proper honours given to the first places?
Dinos, that's the most ghetto mount I have ever seen :D. Congrats!
Dinos, great looking mount,
I think I will have to do something similar with my SS, as it wont fit onto my 7300SE, :p
However, I was going to ask, where could I get one of those connectors for PCI-E slot?
So I dont have to have the card in the slot?
Thanks
We invented this mounting one and a half year ago :D :
http://www.benchbrothers.de/bilder/a...07/aocm_03.jpg
This was on first AOCM back in 2007. Everybody laughed when we put 8800 ultra under mach 2 gt - but it worked very well and in the end nobody laughed. :D
It's totally ugly but it works.... :)
this mounting style iirc started off with shamino wayyyy back in the day. i may be wrong though..
nice mounting ! dino , can youexplain more about your mounting ?
I updated the rankings in the first post, if I missed someones result let me know. This is how it looks with Monstru & Micutzu and Aristidis taking home the gold. Bottom 3 finishers OVERALL were Crusty, Brandybuck, and Crio. You guys will be getting NB pots :D
Well done everyone! Don't put away your 01' gear just yet as there is another challenge coming for sure ;).

Thanks Vince. Did you notice, half the competitors are greeks ? :)
Great news, thank you Vince!
I think you forgot some scores though, I don;t see hey's 90+ result in the top :)
My bad then, I didn't pay attention to that part, I just remembered that hey has a >90k result :)
Congrats Monstru/Micutzu & Aristidis! :clap:
Just realized that some submissions are missing orb links. YOu guys need to them in there in the next day or so, then we can figure out whats what for bottom. This thread has had a rough ride..
Vince, any pics of the northbridge pot?
Well done Monstru, Micutzu & Aristidis :clap::clap:
Very deserving winners :up:
And well done to everyone else that took part, and to Vince for putting it on :yepp:
Wish I hadn't killed my 280 the first day I had it :shakes:, would have liked to have done more in this comp.
Heyyyyy.........I was with a 4870 and not a 4890 VGA........ :p:
I was trying to fix another little issue, and knocked two very little smd's (or whatever thay are called) off, one of them broke in half as well :( not sure if there is anyway to fix something like that.
It was just one of them days when nothing goes right.
The wife was a little pi$$ed I killed something that was worth more than what was on offer for 1st place.
She just doesn't understand that, that has nothing to do with why many of us take part in these things.
Unless you damaged your PCB badly, it's fixable Deanzo ;)

Does brandybuck have a url for his 90149 run?? Can't find it.
