Guys, check this out !
http://www.futuremark.com/community/...igabytedragon/
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...

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?
Yes but FM may not credit you for the extra core......they have a hard enough time ID'ing cpu's correctly....Quote:

If you search through the scores......on the orb you can find them by the actual score ;).
I'm liking these 2 rules.
I think it will keep things on a more even ground ;)
Must use commerically available hardware
Futuremark and Gigabyte Reserves the right to reject any entry
Waiting for Gigabyte to send me a new board but it's taking them a while :(
I cant even find the submit button? Can any one link it to me :S

So aparently, you just submit your eligible result to the ORB and it'll prompt you for your e-mail address, enter your e-mail address to be ranked for the comp. :shrug:Quote:
Q: So how do I enter?
A: Enter the lucky draw by submitting a 3DMark06 result using a Gigabyte motherboard and an AMD CPU and give your email address when prompted or login to ORB. To be eligible for the categories where prizes are given to highest scores, you have to publish your result.
Hello guys !
Here is some problem with ORB. I cant make pesult public :shrug:
^^same here :( when i click on "make public" page just refreshes with no result
Me and elmor did two quick runs, those are at the top right now. Used a Phenom II 965 for it, and it turned out to be a pretty awesome one with 6030MHz core and 4.3GHz NB on the Gigabyte board. Gotta test it on something else later.
Question to organizators
Valid is OK, but i can did it public, what i can do ?
I use catalist 9.8
With other version (9.6 for ex) same.
3D mark 05 is OK
http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/7364/orby.th.jpg
Problem solved :)
Just clean install Windows and install 9.6 Catalyst first helps me :up:
Nice score, DeDaL. A retail 955? :)
Awesome score dedal o.O!
Very nice and extreme score mate :up:
Thanks alot guys :bows:
Yep, is retail. :)Quote:

Very nice DeDaL! :D
sorry for my question :
If somebody use ES chips is there any way to find it on ORB Link ?
Big congrats Dedal, really crazy 955 you got there! :D
Sure I have a private comparison on the ORB.....NO way to tell they show up as regular 955'sQuote:

BTW the CPU OC % of the comp has not been adjusted yet.
This is over 100% oc not counting the extra core.....full score counts....720 BE unlocked, stock clock = 2.8g 3 cores

Maybe there should've been a mandatory screenshot as well, not that I doubt DeDaL or giorgioprimo, myself and elmor even less. We only had one retail quad-core chip, so we used it, it was a 965. It passes Cinebench in 6140MHz, for some reason we couldn't get that working during our late night testing yesterday... Oh well, there's at least prizes for third. :D
I know your chip was retail.......etc commercailly available.Quote:

so if there isn't way to identify these chips in ORB how could we know that it's a ES or not ?

Thats just a statement, i believe dedal's and meanmachines scores :). i have used a retail 955 that did 5850 06 and im sure with more tweaking 5.9. so what is 100mhz more. just takes some Binning!
Vivi once you run dual 4870 x2's you take a 150 mhz hit..........Also you would be wrong.....they handed a few out and I know to exactly whom......Quote:

The rules were simple.
so it's a honesty contest ?:)
I am sure there are others who know exactly whom also to confirm. I also assume there was a limited number of these CPU's passed out and they might show up else where.Quote:

This could get interesting.
honesty contest indeed :).
it can't be helped though
Sure it can.Quote:

No official statement of who won yet nor is scoreboard updated with my first place 100% OC 720 BE score......lets see what happens....
Update from FM site.....
Hey guys,
We're still going through the submissions (including Chew*'s score) and waiting for some final rulings from the jury.
Official winners will be announced on the contest page once this is done. I'll also notify this thread at that time.
There may still be changes to the results at this time, so stay tuned.
- P
Update 2.
Chew*'s score has been investigated and the CPU overclock score has been calculated with the proper default clock frequency putting him in the #1 spot for CPU overclocking.
This should also fix the CPU overclocking score calculation for anyone else with an unlocked AMD CPU ("AMD Phenom II X4 20" or "AMD Phenom II X4 B50" ) in this contest.
The results are still being checked for issues, so stay tuned for final announcements.
:up: to FM staff....
Nice Job Chew !! :bows:
and Congratz !!
Watching to see how the rest of all this unfolds
Here was one of my results from the over all score......
My final score was done with 5989 cpu @ 1.875 vcore and 3800NB at +.60vNB_vid last day of contest.
Unfortunately it was a hail mary run and crashed while trying to grab a screenie....luckily I had saved the result already.....
Nothing stellar about this chip.......I tried to make the most effecient use of what clocks I had.
http://chew.ln2cooling.com/qdig-file...mp%2034525.jpg
Nothing stellar, yeah right ... your definition of stellar has to be different from mine. As always, inspiring score. Glad to see you around AMD
Well, it seems you're satisfied at least, now that you got your win in the end. Congratulations.
Satisfied?Quote:

definition of stellar....Subtract 150 mhz off these chips and you know what it can do with dual 4870x2s.....

" Re: Gigabyte Dragon Overclocking Competition 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI, current schedule is that we will announce the final winners list on Monday."
Today, for some reason my result on 6134Mhz was deleted from the rating of the TOP CPU overclockers. I do not understand why, and much surprised at this fact.
orb link still valid..

well.Quote:

I suggest you take it up with them.
My 720 result is not on board atm either.....I'm guessing they are doing some updates.
None of the components was not an engineering sample.
That's the problem. :)
Nor was mine.......not even a review sample. Just binning ;)Quote:

So lets hope that guys from FM will do right things
So Monday has come, any updates on the final results ?
i think it already update
http://www.futuremark.com/community/...igabytedragon/
as i mentioned before, open cores will be count
Winners are posted on their forum: http://futuremark.yougamers.com/foru...4&postcount=62
Actually only the winners of the CPU OC part of contest are finalized......This just in....
"It appears there's still an ongoing investigation with the jury that I wasn't informed about concerning the winners for best scores, so there might still be some changes.
Basically this means that the score based winners have not been contacted yet.
Apologies for the inconvenience."

Congrats guys :up:
Congratz bro for the First place :up: great work
thanks very much hiwa
Information to organizators:
I have 2 email adresses: treacer@mail.ru and treacer@gmail.com
I think Gmail must be better. Becouse mail.ru sometimes block emails.
Thanks. :)
