3DMARK 2K1 low clock challenge II

[BenchZowner]

Was that at the same time he said Mods and anyone with their names in Green have to use Vista ?

Haha, that cranked me up

Nice idea Vince, and thanks again for your contribution in the community

[BNDMOD]

This is mine, without all tweaks... runing vga stock... :s

[Hazzan]

I joined 2 class sesion single and multi GPU ......maybe luck.....

[hey]

wow nice contest, but here you forget sth.. limitation of nature is good for lowclock challenge but you must say that all tests should be run at the same gpu clocks that is used in nature to get 1200fps cause lets say,i can run 285gtx@790mhz for 1200fps and other tests at 285gtx@1100mhz

[elmor]

Vince, about the cap. Do you have to get max 1200fps or just count with 1200fps even if you're above?

plus, even we limit gpu mhz, say that i can run my worst efficient nature with very high clocks, then at that clocks i can run other tests,, this again sh*t everything

sorry guys, i am not that bad

[SF3D]

Great idea!

I arranged similar contest in Finland last year. We counted only 500 fps in nature, cause it was meant to be for low end GPU's too. If someone got over that cap, we calculated the final score.
Nature is 20x fps = XXXX points. So, if someone go over 1200fps, it is easy to calculate what is the final contest score. We didn't have any problems with this in that contest.

If cap limit is 1200FPS, you limit the other tests as well; if you just re-calculate with 1200FPS, there's no point in adding the cap, because higher clocked systems will still rule in the 6 other tests.

Vince you rock man, I know what I'm gonna be doing for the next month. One thing though, you have to play. You're excluded from the prize list but still, you gotta be in this

Sorry for the off topic. This will be my last one.

Pieter.. You are wrong. This is low clock challenge and nature cap is needed. You will see how limited the 4.2GHz system will be even with all possible tweaks. Nature need to have cap, cause in that part you can get a lot higher score with just aircooled VGA and I don't think it is the point in this contest.

Who will have the best software tweaks and best subsystem tweaks, will rule this competition. We already saw a nice start from Hipro.

I try the HD4850 and this wouldn´t been the best card for this



And maybee the Ati wouldn´t been the best choice for this 3Dmark

[DeDaL]

Really good idea in rules.
I try to do some results soon.

Hey, a nice challenge. But I'm having a hard time reaching the 1400 cap with two 280's on air at 735/1410. I'm runing around in circles at 1050ish and kinda lost. It may be my poor ddr3. I will be back :- )

Let me guess:
You're running the benchmark on a Core i7, right ?

[hifiking]

Indeed.

[LardArse]

Big whip you brought to the horses, giddyap people!

[N3RO]

Subscribed!

[BenchZowner]

Indeed.

SLI isn't working properly in 3D Mark2001SE on the X58 motherboards.
I found that out 2 weeks ago or so while testing some VGAs in 3D Mark2001SE.
nVIDIA seems to be ignoring this issue

Yep.
3DM01 is "green territory". And currently I only have "red" cards..

Excellent challenge from KingPin.

[xtant25]

I'll give this a shot and see what I can do.

[George_o/c]

Really nice challenge Vince I'll for sure participate, just for the fun of it ! These competitions are not about first place, it's about teasing other people with your scores , and of course having fun with the rest of the community - that's the spirit everybody !

Anybody going to give it a shot with an old (kind of) red lady - 3870X2 ?

[A2C]

me too

its time to buy some GTX285

[hipro5]

George just put a big smile on my face: at 7.50AM he finds out about this thread, one and a half hour later he posts his score with a nature 0.4FPS below the cap

Yep.

hmmmmm......NOPE, as Vince has posted with the Nature Limit....

[T_M]

Great idea and looks like something i'll give a shot since my LN2 benching in Jakarta hasnt begun.
Thanks Vince for putting up some special prizes

Hi! I have one 3870X2, and if you want I can make a run with it But i don'0t know when, I'm really busy...
