8800 cards on the ORB

[alexio]

To all 8800 cards owners,

I found a way to put scores on the ORB with non-WHQL drivers. I want to see some 8800 cards rock the ORB, so I'm willing to help 8800 cards owners ;
You need a driver that supports the 8800 series cards, which is non-WHQL.
I insist that in the description on the ORB you make clear that the driver is non-WHQL.

PM me if you are interested. I only help people that I can trust, and I will not share the process with anyone to avoid cheating.

To the mods: Please remove if according to you this is cheating.

Best regards,

Alex

So basicly you just found a way to change non-WHQL drivers into WHQL/FM approved drivers?

Not only due me bein' a ATI fanboy, I dont like this, but mostly - Its not officiel yet, is it?
When C2D couldnt be submitted pre-launch on ORB, neither should 8800GTX/GTS.. Thats my oppinion..

Yeah that's exactly what I thought. But it's so close untill the end of NDA and FM approval anyways, so I'd like to give the XS members a little jumpstart.

Thanks for your opinion

PallMall, to me not a matter of who's first, but matter of NDA has to expire
- Ya know, quite a few share this oppinion - Some are even pushed in public for NDA info, and some has nearly left for this matter.. I wonder if thats the reason that we havnt seen stephen for ALONG time now..

- Not that Im holy in any way, I ask alot of sources for NDA info, but never in public and never reveal a thing!

But there are people buying GTX's in stores now. These people aren't under NDA so why not be able to post scores on FM.

personally, I would think this boarders on cheating.

I can think up a few ways this can open up some new levels of cheating.
I'd say, just wait till FM approves the 8800 for the ORB.
is there any real reason to publish results today, other then getting a easy shot at some WR?

...That`ll be broken in 2 days anyway

Theres no achievement in winning a 1-horse race (IMHO)
