[GOOC 2009]Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship 2009

[Brian y.]

Don't think the wife will take too kindly to how the one on the right is looking at you

Don't let that look fool ya SF3D, she is just trying to get her hands on one of your golden CPU's

[Vapor]

Finally out of my 60 hour coma after returning home

Thanks to Gigabyte for putting together an awesome event again this year

Was great to see some old faces again and meet some new ones....hope to see you guys again next year!

I'm trying to get the article up for tonight, going through 3000 pics is a chore

3000.......

SF3D,, could you please tell her i got many many golden CPU in Hong Kong and give my MSN and phone no. to her also

Wonder when the Guess and Win winners will be posted

Wonder when the Guess and Win winners will be posted

didnt you win a Core i7 965XE recently
what else do you want
a board now

Sure

[<<HANNIBAL>>]

Any videos or pics on this event?

[dinos22]

here are the full results from GOOC World Final Competition from all teams

Charles, can you tell us what you did to get that GT2. There is nothing even remotely close to those FPS on HWBOT

TEAM AUSTRALIA - dinos22 and deanzo








TEAM BELGIUM - Pt1t & massman








TEAM CHINA X800Pro & Lok









TEAM SWEDEN - ELMOR & SF3D









TEAM USA - VAPOR & FUGGER








TEAM USA - miah & sno.lcn

[SF3D]

Thanks Dino!

Our clockspeeds does look quite good, so we should be winners Too bad we are not

87fps in GT2 What is going on..

Trouffman running in pain !


EDIT : Thanks pj ^^

Hey Gautam...what's your take on Fugger's GT2 score?

BTW - our 32M run was at 5320MHz...something wrong with that

Not as wrong as our vantage run ...

[Sampsa]

87,66 FPS in GT2 makes absolutely no sense. GDDR3 memory @ 1,5 GHz or some serious tweak, which has no affect on GT1 and CPU-tests? And what's up with the screenshot and low gfx clocks? I think this needs some kind of explanation from Fugger/Vapor or GOOC 2009 judges

[massman]

Clocks in screenshot were lowered to throw the other competitors off track, iirc .

Real clocks should be around 910MHz core or so

Even with 900+ GPU clocks...I think an explanation is still in order....Charles

Or some tweak on that? they use diff theme for vantage?

[massman]

Can't be the memory either: 100MHz seems to only give +3FPS in GT2.

[SF3D]

Yeah. Weird. GT1 is very low and GT2 super high.

Lowering clocks for screenshot should not be allowed in competitions. Screenshot should be the validation for some score and in that screenshot nothing is right.

Some explanations are needed for sure.

[massman]

If I'm not mistaken, there is a screenshot with the correct frequencies somewhere.

Trouffman is so funny

Clocks were just under 900 for the core (set to 888, not sure what it actually runs at when we set that) and 1300 for the memory. Unsure about shader tbh, we increased the ratio a bit and then relinked, so probably ~1950.

As for the GT2....we were using an old school D3D tweak + d3doverrider (in the Tools folder of RivaTuner, we didn't modify or introduce any software whatsoever). Overall it helps GT2 a bunch but doesn't do much to GT1, maybe even hurts a little. I'm surprised that GT2 was helped that much, in my testing at home, it was definitely boosted...but I was on air with pretty low memory clocks (cards I have suck), didn't expect it to scale that much with better clocks.

[massman]

All I know is that our score sucks BIG TIME considering the clocks we got from the cards.

As far as the tweaks are concerned you mean the following:

Triple Buffering settings in d3doverrider @ ON
Vsync settings in d3doverrider @ OFF
Write Combining in Riva Tuner @ OFF
Texture Filtering @ High Performance

? Or something else ?

Thanks for the info many people were looking for explanation for that high GT2.
