    I just sold my 8800GTX a month ago. I was hoping that nvidia is kicking out the new G90 series fast but I believe that they are playing the waiting game so they can get the max $$ out of the G80. Because ATI/AMD is not yet a real treat.

    To be a professional noob/idiot
    * Default factory speed is for noobs.
    * Everything must go above the speed that the factory consider safe.
    * Everything for more performance
    * Everything fits, and everything can be broken.
    * Most problems can be fixed by adding a volt or two.
    * Post things in your signature that makes no sense at all.

    could i suggest a minimum post count of 10 or something as there are a few guys in the asus comp with only 1 post (i.e the lucky number post)

    im not trying to disuade people from joining ( far from it im only new here) just it frustrates me when people join for competions and are never heard of again
    how about 200 minimum?

    Um, so how would one get a score after first run? You cannot know score unless you submit online, and for more than one single online submission, you must buy this app. I think contest is not gonna happen unless futuremark sponsors it.

    um?
    what futuremark bench are we talking about anyway. but from my experiences, you can upload at least 3 benches using the free version of 2k1, 2k3, 2k5 and maybe 2k6 (not sure on this one, haven't really used it much).
    besides uploading != running. you can run as many tests as you want for as long as you like. you have the option to save your results and upload them at a later time. i usually do that, because in some circumstance my rigs cannot connect to the interweb while benching (firewall off = everything blocked) or the network decides to stop working at fsbs beyond a certain point, ...

    ah and you CAN see the score even without submiting. with the newer futuremarks you get to click on "details" (or whatever) et voila - the scores are visible.

    Kind of sucks that you have to upload to see the score, I like running benches with ethernet, sound, and ATA channels disabled in bios

    Bump on this contest? I'm eager to embarrass myself with pathetically low scores

    Save project file on USB drive, attach usb drive to 24/7 pc, upload score.

    What the problem?

    Haven't played with Vantage yet, I was under the impression that it didn't let you save the files but required immediate upload. Looking forward to playing with it though

    prizes should only go to users who contribute to folding@home heavily. They are the real heroes who often buy thousands of $'s worth of equipment soley for helping others. (DDTUNG for instance)

    If any of the prizes involve quad cores i would hope some of you guys that win would at least consider sending some his way.
