[Mean Machine]

Say what? .. nobody told me that before
so you spoke to MSI and everything is already organised? so ill have to do nothing right?

What the... elmor told me you were cool with it. Oh, well, you're not 18 yet, so you don't have anything to say about it.

EDIT: beans, you are 18, my bad. :P

Congrats to all the guys that made it,

Look forward to seeing you all in China.

[loonym]

Congrats to everyone!! Should be very much fun. I'm looking forward to competing in future contests with slightly better results.

[NightRaven]

Yupe, the PhysX can be turned ON according to SEA Rules...
not to mention they have no 1-card-limit, so probably everyone was benching with GTX295 on SLI, I guess..

Still, Nice Score by My man Ekky , congrats bro!!

--------------

Earlier though, I was notified by MSI that they planned to invite me as 'Guest/Media' so I can still go to the Beijing...

I really hope I can go there, would LOVE to meet ALL of you there

[NightRaven]

It says all three will go to Beijing on the page.

Grats guys and see you in Beijing!

Hey Charles.. you are right.. it does say Top 3 going to Beijing.. but the Original rules says Top 2, and it says the same thing on only 2 lower on the page. Going to drop an e-mail to MSI and see what the deal is.

The Swedes'll probably land 09:55 in Beijing on the 28th. Dunno, but I somehow suppose the finns have the same flight, especially since we will fly via Helsinki.

Yes.. the flights are the same. Luckily the flight is only 7 hours and 45 minutes.

Hopefully we will get a chance to go to great wall etc. We have to do some plans for Monday 31st and Tueasday 1st of September.

So, how many guys are staying in Beijing after the contest?

[Stelios]

Anybody knows the name of the hotel that MSI has booked ????

[Mean Machine]

Hopefully we will get a chance to go to great wall etc. We have to do some plans for Monday 31st and Tueasday 1st of September.

Seeing the great wall shouldn't be much of a problem, since it's not that far from Beijing, at least the nearest parts. I vote for a Monday visit to the wall.

[OBR]

Hotel name: The National Olympic Sports Center-Olympic Hotels
Address: NO.1 AnDing Road Chaoyang district, Beijing, 100029
Contact: Yin, Zhi Hui
Arrival: 28th of August
Departure: 31st of August

We will be there at launch time 28th, we can make some trip to Shopping to center .... area around Hotel is dead, built for Olympics ... we can go to PC shops look for something special ... maybe E6400K will be on shelves ...

Great Wall is app 100 km from Beijing ... travel on chinese roads spent +/- 3 hours

[Mean Machine]

Meh, the good flights were booked up... We'll be flying via Amsterdam instead.

[e-Killer]

Hello I am the winner of the playoffs in South America, it is a pleasure trip to Beijing and meet you, hope you learn some tips and do a good competition. See u in Beijing.

[dinos22]

ah thats great
finally at least one manufacturer that did south american qualifying

thats good to see

[massman]

Guys, as far as I can see, the VGPU controller on the GTX275 you'll be using is the same uP6208 as in the EU finals (probably the rest as well?)

[e-Killer]

is UP6206 .

[A2C]

Thank you mate

[Xyala]

Question : Will there be a live broadcast from the final or just "nothing" like in the Münich qualifiers ... (that by the way was too bad for us), Trouffman will there be internet connection in Beijing ?

[e-Killer]

i hope they bring Wi-Fi i want make live broadcasting for my Friends

[dinos22]

Guys, as far as I can see, the VGPU controller on the GTX275 you'll be using is the same uP6208 as in the EU finals (probably the rest as well?)

so are the mods going to be the same as the ones hipro posted about or not?

[massman]

Technically yes, but it's possible that the PCB design is a bit different from the GTX260 (hipro's modifications). So what you need to do is to re-measure everything.

The vmem ic is the uP6205B; FB is pin 8 and there's a soldering point very near, almost next to the pin.

As for the Vgpu: the hardmod will indeed work, but you'll have OVP no doubt. I hope MSI lets you use the utility Snot_aap coded for the GTX260 as it should work on the GTX275 as well. Then you have no OVP and are able to set the Vgpu upto 1.6 through the VID table.
