[GOOC 2009]Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship 2009

[miahallen]

i wasnt actually commenting on how good or bad GT1 is

i am saying in a normal run you will find that GT1 is usually higher

the issue here is with GT2 > that's the test i think is bugged

The way Charles was talking before the comp, then if it was "bugged", it was done on purpose

It shouldn't be too hard for Gigabyte (hicookie) to try to replicate the result with the clocks / settings Fugger & Vapor used. Now people seem to think that GOOC 2009 final was won thanks to bugged GT2 score and that is not good for the winners / competition reputation. Any thoughts?

[jmke]

somebody has to be able to replicate those results with GT2 > otherwise that run is bugged :-/

[massman]

If I'm not mistaken, Fugger/Vapor submitted another result before this one. I reckon GBT does still have this one as well, no?

[hipro5]

The BEST GT2 is mainly equal to GT1 MAX....

They submitted three results in total, in each case GT2 was approx. 10FPS higher than GT1.

Whatever they did was done in RivaTuner, so someone will figure it out eventually

MACMAC, you say "Having executed their plan perfectly, and with the help of a clever old school tweak, Team USA 1 crushed the competition in both graphics and overall scores."

i tought you had figured what tweak was used

Well even if I knew, I wouldn't reveal it. Journalistic integrity and such

Lots of teams share info with me during these competitions, intentionally or not, and I make sure to keep it to myself. It is up to the individual teams to share their knowledge with others.

Journalistic integrity

I see the words "journalist" and "integrity" being juxtaposed. Something doesn't compute.









Just yanking your chain

Don't worry, even I felt weird writing it

MACMAC said "with the help of a clever old school tweak"

Sending you over to stand next to another team has nothing to do with riva!

For anyone that doesn't know, MACMAC standing next to you = lockup

So, basicly this old skool tweak consists of the following actions:

- Get the attention of the nearby standing MACMAC
- Raise arm
- Raise hand
- Raise one finger
- Shout: "Get the f*ck out of here!!!"

Setup tweaked

Yeah, that was bad...I did stay away from your table for the rest of the competition though

Basically, Team Australia was running New Calico, so I walked up to their table and as soon as I said "Doesn't that look great" their system locked up

[dinos22]

macmac eric already mentioned D3D overrider
thats not what got them the extra FPS

if there is a geniune tweak in GT2 TeamUSA should communicate to judges and have this validated

there are a lot of old school benchers on HWBOT yet no one has managed to pull off this kind of GT2

ROFL how funny was that

I JUST re-tested the D3D with the GTX 260 (because I'm preparing for our tommorow regional Greek finals for the MSI on Vantage) and I get NO gain at all.....

EDIT:
Drivers used:
181.20
181.22
182.08
182.50
185.85

You know why? B'couse you don't have at home 5GHz Core i7 air cooled :P

Good luck tomorrow

[hipro5]

Thanks M8....

I have to confess that the MSI GTX260 with the front panel, ROCKS BIG TIME.....
It does with the default heatsink and after mods, 810MHz Core / Shaders I don't remember (calculate it ), and 1295MHz rams....

[Charles Wirth]

We came prepared to win, it was not a bug and the tools were on the hard drive to duplicate. George will figure it out, I see he is on a mission.

Patrick did good, he did not effect our runs at all.

Miah, The Aussies know I come to have fun.

[massman]

If the score had to be validated on the FM orb ... would you be able to publish the result?

[hipro5]

I'm quoting my self...
Why?....Because ALL of our cards in the competition, were cold buging their rams from -20*C to -55*C....

Oh, is that what you call it

[dinos22]

ROFL a 30% legit tweak you say hey hehehehe ok man

[massman]

Legit for the competition =/= legit on FM orb
