PowerColor Pimp My Rig Contest - General Discussion

[mipf]

Im having problem submitting my score. I have submitted the other day Sept. 14. I have learned that there was a necessary code that i will be receiving via email, i havent received it yet, now i submitted again the same score using the same email, and I havent received any emails from PowerColor yet. Im using yahoo mail.

I submitted again for the third time via different email, and I have received the code this time. But I would like to know it I can still avail of the submission time from the other day, Sept. 14 (+8GMT)

I don't think that I will submit it if I'm not 100% sure, don't know if my previous result will be overwritten.

congrats dude! you got it!
i was 1 point behind.

[Absolution]

Gz, what did you win atillo?

[vavyn]

I don not think the score of 0 counts. If you click under deatiled score, the 3d mark score is N/A, thus the 0 score

Example,http://www.3dmark.com/3dm03/6477913
I got a score of 0, but if you click under detailed score, under 3d mark score it shows N/A

So if he has a 1 and you submitted before him, you will win.

well, in your score 2 of the 4 tests have N/A fps, but in mine all four tests have a fps>0,00.
Anyway I haven't submitted that score, but now I don't care anymore.

So if he has a 1 and you submitted before him, you will win.

I think mipf meant he got a 2.

I know. But what I'm trying to show you is that under detailed score, 3d mark score it shows N/A. Which means you will have a score of 0. But strange you got more than 0.00 for all 4 tests. But anyways, let's fight for the 7990.

Thanks, I think I haven't done nothing that you already don't know, but I will tell how I did at the end of round two.

Congrats to vavyn and to the other winners!

[vavyn]

Time time and time. But once you found the sweet spot, the get the same result is not difficult. Of course getting there requires like LOTS OF TIME. Each test takes like 1hr to do.

attilio. I should have join TPU so I can eliminate you, less competition for myself in 2nd round!

[Ranmamez]

Do you know that I hate both of you?
My Celeron 300A with 512MB ram on an Asus P2B rev 1.10 and a geforce fx5200 doesn't work very well, so the 3dmark03 info tool crashes randomly at starting the program
And on a fresh installed Windows XP setup! Btw this one doesn't detect the processor very well in the Device Manager, listing a "Processor" under the processor thread (but calling it a "Intel Celeron Processor" in the My Computer details).
I've even tried to install Windows Vista Business but it won't let me end the install (and afaik, Vista can boot with only 512 Mb!)
Anyway, I think you two have already a neat hardware system, now why don't you leave the 7990 to who deserves it (hint: like me :P *whistle*).

[pcexpert]

congrats to the vavyn & attilio nice scores

I submitted from the other forum 3 marks, didn't have time for more - was on Prodigy Wariors dance festival

cya in round 2

[Absolution]

So how did you guys do it? My first clue was when someone mentioned how 1 program made the scores so low and I instantly thought of Furmark.

So pretty much running Furmark - 2 instances or Furmark + MSI's Kombuster.



Interesting thing though about posting in all 4 communities:

I know Maban didnt post in all, just showing vavyn and pcexpert did. Or atleast claim to do so in pcexperts case.

Thats what pcexpert did.

Oh. No I didn't. If I did then I will win 4 sets of each prize from each community.
Also the rule says you can enter only 1 community.

Yes furmark.

I ran two instances of furmark for a score of 8.. I just didn't have the time for this contest reallly.

You can run infinite instances of furmark so... see you in round 2. I didn't even underclock my CPU or do much tweaking for a score of 8 so I'm pretty confident for round 2.. cept for these guys who already know their setup for a score of 1.. I'm gonna have to start running midnight of the first night of round 2.

[pcexpert]

@Absolution
I only posted ONCE (1) from ONE (1) community.
I dint posted from multiple communities if i did that i would be disqualified as the rule says.

There was no rule that you cant join other community and post from it.

so stop being Sherlock Homes i did it by the book only from other forum not from techPowerUp

i had an Fx5500 running at 18Mhz on core 30Mhz on memory + 2 instances of furmark and the best i got was 5.

It depends on what resolution you use.. and i forced my drivers to run super, super high settings for furmark.exe

2 instances gave me an 8 with an HD4350
