if your taxi ever gets lost just point to the tallest completed skyscraper in the world
your hotel situated on the North-East corner of Taipei101

The place to meet is simply called "The Tavern", and is nearby on a corner.

Just ask the hotel staff to mark it on a map.
Thats where the first drinks will be flowing and where i will look for everyone once arrive.

Hair dryers will not be provided, so ask nicely and borrow your girlfriend's for the event

Whoever wrote those slides deserves a high five Looks like it'll be a very interesting event, those that go I hope they have fun.

[NightRaven]

i'll be there for Team Singapore. Let me go pull up a picture

T_M from Team Au will be my teammate again.

He was my teammate at 2007 aocc for team aussie so we're back! just tt flying my flag now instead

the only problem i have with the hardware is 2 4850s...

i'm like.. WHAT!?

[T_M]

The use of the xfire 4850's is gonna make things very interesting.
BIOS mods... in a time limited competition..... dot dot dot......

Anyway yeah ill be there boozing on like an Aussie but flying the Singaporean flag

[[XC] gomeler]

The 4850's scale much better if you have the right tools than the 4870's, so the man with the soldering skills will be set. The only problem.. Rivatuner doesn't adjust the clock frequencies so you guys will be stuck with the CCC limitations unless GamerHUD can adjust both cards.

Hard to do a BIOS mod if you don't have an app to flash the BIOS

[Pt1t]

My Teammate is Boblemagnifique


Edit : Bios F3b or Newer ... i prefer newer one

[Benny Lodewijk]

Me, Hazzan and Andre X_X will attend this competition. Looking forward to meet with you all.

And the interesting parts is we will use non reference HD4850 card , it will GiGABYTE own design HD4850 available at the end of this month. GamerHUD support offcourse and i don't think we need to re-flash the VGA BIOS.

@Nightraven & T_M : just like old time mate.......

[T_M]

Gomeler, read the slides again

Interesting to find how to mods HD4850 GIGABYTE's own design

maybe the cards have overvolt by software

[Benny Lodewijk]

maybe the cards have overvolt by software

yes sure, since GIGABYTE mentioned GamerHUD utility. But as we know, software always limited especially related to voltage. Btw, me, hazzan and Andre X_X are from Team Indonesia.

[[XC] gomeler]

Gomeler, read the slides again

Ahh, missed the bit about the bootable USB drive Hope people bring GPU pots, 1050MHz runs should be do-able with just a vgpu mod

[Harshal]

I will be there
V-Modding. *looks @ NR*

[bazx]

good luck guys

i already know you will have a blast

lol..gee, im back, they also prepare amdgpuclock tool & vga bios, then you can flash it , or just use software tool to manage firex over-clock., that will be more interesting and more skills.

[hixie]
