Single CPU's only, dang, I have a 1ghz Dual CPU Pentium III setup that rocks this world :rofl

Kudos on first submission Frank. Can you please edit to mirror the example posts information. Your screen resolution for the screenshot makes viewing the information on your screenshot impossible.

LOL

Sorry man but 1920 x1200 is my screens native res...it's the best I can do for you, this is what I was talking about earlier. The only way I get a decently viewable pic size is if I use photobucket or image shack.

do i have to physically remove the second card, or can i just disable CF for the run?

Remove the card dillhole...you know that it will still use ram from the second card with cf disabled...

would that really improve performance?

If you run with a second card installed, I'll be forced to assume that you're using the second card. Why? Heres my logic, if you're benching for absolute performance, you wouldn't have that second card within the slot as it hampers performance. Not saying you'd personally cheat by running the second card in CF and then disabling for the screeny, just saying "Toss the second card" to preserve credibility.

Thank you :D

Yes, I noticed it when I first got my X2's. Even with CF disabled I would get higher scores with two cards installed.

I got curious about this so I monitored temps both ways and discovered that the second card's cores would remain cold with cf disabled but the ram would heat up appreciably.

no prob dude just im actually benching this in my case not on a rack like you guys since i dont have one, and bench table had to be taken down, and i have taht stupid lian li fan above the cards, so single card run will have to wait till later, but my prelim dual card run is posted

I don't want you guys wasting runs so please refer to the sample screenshot for whats required in the screeny's. The text doc must have the date of the benchrun. I will not relent on the rules so pay close attention.

Here it is gents, smack talking, questions, answers, complaints etc........

Link back to contest submissions here

sweet... ill go ahead and take the prize now, since knowone can seem to locate theyre pee pee and try and take me on in the multi gpu category..... hell i may just jump in and smash that category also :rofl:trophy:

Not that it matters in my situation (no way single GPU is only pulling 500ish FPS in nature)

But how do you limit frames?? Is it a paid version feature?

you would i believe need to run each test individually and run taht test at a lower setting to make sure you dont get as high

EDIT: you would be suprised how much one card can do ;)

Frame limits are imposed by limiting the amount of overclock you have on your cards or cpu. :cool: If you're fortunate enough to get near this roof on the frames, ur doing great!

i hope you dont mind, im gonna go ahead and have KAL box up and post pics with my address on it, We will call it "A glimpse of the future"

:rofl when a 285 comes into play. Really it will boil down to who has the better gpu imho. I don't so I already know I won't win. Not to say I can't go pick up another gpu or two. :rolleyes: Be like a two for oner, right? Buy some gpu's to win a pot. I dunno if you can win every category. Seems like it would only be fair to be allowed to win one.

you can only win 1 category or prize even if you win both categories

cmon nip bring it on buddy, ive already got a nice single card score too, unfortunately im handicapped as i only have ati :eek:


EDIT: and im only running my cards none of my test cards, i do have a 8800gts of mine but it prolly wond do crap

Yep, you can only win ONE prize in this competition.

Good to know supes!

You goin to get a bench or two submitted? I know your not eligible but I as well as others I am sure would like to see what you have under the hood. Been dying to see that E8600 and REX put to work.

Well, seeing as Mr. Trashman has spoken, I'll have to size up my 13's and drop a punt or two in his direction :rofl

Bring it on "nancy boy" :rofl:rofl

That's what I'm talkin. Lets bring it like we use to do in the day. I need to do a XP install and run it on there as mine was done on Windows 7. I might say it performed better than what I expected.

Dude, when you can cntrl+alt+delete with one hand, then you can join this club sign10

just did a quick look, and i still dont see any score.... shup and post punk :p

Hold up man, its coming, I gotta find a "low end" mobile gpu to match that score of yours :rofl

Its ok, ill make sure to stay on a PIII for now, dont wanna be too far ahead of you

Bummer. I only score 2000 more points with SLI enabled. Sometimes I hate these 260's. Got to get me some new GPU's soon as that is my area of weakness.

you would be suprised nip with some tweaking the difference it could make

I so hate nVidia... GTX280's are pathetic junk.

But only to a certain extent. There is no way my 260 would beat a 285.

Your doing alot better than I am with 3xGTX280's.:ash1:

Ugh ran mine single GPU I think I might be abe to pull 8th so far lol (still got a lot of posting to hit 100 posts though, but it's for the fun of it)

Forgot to do the GPU drop down thing in GPUZ so going to rerun it later :)

Nice freaking scores so far though

Crushing mine by about 20% :O

edit:

LOL just had my PC restart during 06. For some reason I decided to check the fan fan controller and noticed all my fans were running at about 60% DOH!

Pee Pee found it was in my hand the whole time. I'll take the prize now :rofl and if I have to I will run some sinle GPU also.

No one can touch my 2001 multiGPU score... a whopping 43k

Well except for my single GPU score of 44.9K

:rofl

Really? Is that the best you girlz can muster so far????????fight7

Don't make me pull out my 3 year old 50k single card runs lol ;)

Nice to see this kicked off guys!

Cheers,

Rev
