Get your facts straight and then start to write this type of BS comments
LOD is level of detail and with ati card you can do it manually from register. You can use setlod software with ATI cards. Program is coded by elmor I think. LOD is widely allowed, because the original data is never modified, but only the points of calculation are different. MIPMAP is altering the original data which should be calculated and that way the difference become huge in some situations.
So, in 2008 GOOC we used normal LOD and we set it to MAX value, which is 15 on both ATI and Nvidia. We won 3DMark06 part by 100 points,
which is still in normal error margin. Our CPU had the best clocks, if I remember correctly and VGA was 25MHz lower or something.
Our system was overclocked very nicely and the score was exactly what it should be,
so I really don't know why certain persons started to spread the rumour.
In GOOC 2009 some users played their hardware most propably at stock settings, turned off the monitor,
so no one could see what was going on.
They disabled the post processing and got huge boost in GT2.
This way the score is repeatable again and again.
They explained the weird screenshot by downclocking.
So all dirty tricks have been done in GOOC 2009 and the users who did it tried to give me stories about 2 SLI bridges and DX10 LOD. Cool!
Someone, please explain me LOD in DX10 or 11 and how that can be done Same goes for mipmap with DX10/11.
So, I have nothing to add for this original conversation and I think you are just wasting your time Mike.
HWbot and FM have already become a standards of overclockinh and the rules of HWbot are very widely accepted.
If you like to write your own rulebook, be my guest.
If I am totally wrong on some part, I can then read the whole thread.
