, it'll make my life so much easier and would get the standings up sooner! -
Code:
This will get you entered. You will have until January 4th, 2010 to submit your final OC results.
If your card is accepted into the competition (ie, there are no volt-mods, and if it's a GT200-based chip) you will be added to the Spreadsheet below with all the information listed.
You can submit Overclock results as many times as wanted, as long as all criteria are met every time you submit a new OC. Be aware though, that you can only post your absolute last OC result on the final day of competition. Once you submit the first time on that day, it's final!
Air Cooling and Water Cooling is allowed.
NO VOLT-MODS!
Volt-modding gives an unfair advantage and almost
guarantees a win. Let's keep it fair people.
This means no BIOS mods, no software voltage increases,
and no hardware voltmods!
The Winner will be chosen through a variety of different variables,
a formula that will be at a classified state.
The Spreadsheet in this thread will show all the required information,
and will change frequently for all submitted Overclocks. Keep your eyes on it!
Unlike the G92 shootout, we will have the statistics of everyone's overclock
for public viewing, considering that there will be different prizes as well as
(hopefully) more participants.
Prize:
1st Place: One full year Overclocked Account!
2nd Place: Six months Overclocked Account!
3rd Place: Three months Overclocked Account!
This gives everyone a goal, and gives everyone a chance to win something

.
Note: Considering that Moderators/Editors/etc have OC'd accounts already, the prize will be given to the runner-up in the event that a staff member wins the shootout.
Note: If a member wins who already has an OC'd account, an additional year will be added to whatever subscription they currently have.
Good luck, happy burning

That's a good question. I've never dealt with dual-GPU cards, I... simply don't have an answer. I'd imagine though that the GPU itself isn't what's on the table, it's the card in it's wholeness, so overall what the card can perform is I guess what I'm trying to say.
Quote:
Yes, you can enter multiple times as many cards as you have. Just make sure that you submit new data for every card (meaning ATiTool, Furmark, GPU-Z validation, et al).
And no, haha, you'll only win the upper-range of where you stand. Meaning if you win first and second, you'll only be counted towards first place, and the second place spot that you'd occupy would be vacant for someone else.

I don't think the 260 has a chance on air, but after RMAing my 295 and re-doing the cooling block, I might have a chance. I'll see how far I can push it for 8 minutes stable. |

My 285s can run furmark for 1/2 hour at clocks that'll crash in seconds in vantage or artifact just as fast in atitool, but it is good for checking max temps.

Definitely going to need at LEAST 15 participants. Bring it on people!

Sent in application. Spent forever tinkering with settings to try and get a stable Furmark run at 738 core, but it almost always crashed on startup or in the first 5 seconds, on the few times it didn't it *always* froze at 67% when the side of the doughnut circles around close to the screen, necessitating a hard restart - I corrupted several files on my SSD due to so many hard restarts, luckily nothing important

I think I can squeeze a hair more out of the memory and possibly the core, but I'll wait and see what other entries look like first. It might help to open the window farther, I could drop the ambient down to ~0c pretty easily (northern winters FTW) and keep the water at ~5c to avoid freezing, but I have to sleep here too and going too cold screws up the thermostat in the living room

Yep! You can resubmit any entry as many times as you like.
