Hardly surprising given that Unless I missed something there are no class categories, e.g. Exxxx, Qxxxx, i7-xxx etc, it is just the highest score for the week, unless you've got a Quad SLI i7-965 box you're pretty much only entering for the random prize draw imo
Seems a bit unfair for ppl with medium-fast setups. Besides remember http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark06/approveddrivers/ approved drivers for the event is with the ati drivers 9.3. Its annoying. Is score some nice numbers with the 9.5 :bang:
Wish they would break it down into some kind of different classes. The way I read it is if you can buy the component commercially then its a go with everyone lumped together. Might as well just take the highest score in their data base. Looks like Africa and Australia are left out. Each region's countries that are included are colored yellow.
Was looking at the score from the ORB Benchmark Ticker and couldnt stop noticing this score. Felt sorry for him/she actually :3eyes: Was thinking how much hardware has changed since the FX5200 day (owned once :boozer *** Ninth on the list from Europe :wanker:
dunno how they will do this, you could be clocked to hell and back, then someone runs a tri sli stock and cleans your clock.. makes no sense to me..
Funny that the highest score is a Xeon 2.67ghz. I wonder if it doesn't report the true ghz correctly, or if they just didn't overclock it... And I just kinda lolled at their prizes. Are they aware who the kind of people are who set these records? A GTX 260, are you kidding me? The record would have to be set with 4870x2s, GTX 295s, GTX 285s in tri-SLI...I mean come on. None of these people want a GTX 260 or some crappy raidmax case. They want a month's supply of LN2 or dry ice...Or maybe a new Xeon since the one they benched with cracked in half. New i7 or something. Kind of a joke competition...give me a break, a freaking notebook cooler. Seriously?
Okay this is a joke. Take the first of each continent, and press on their score. Just to watch that they havent used display driver that has been validated. Soulfly uke2: Futuremark *** My score was 21179 with 9.3 drivers and now 22144 with 9.5 drivers (validated or not ) And of course not showing up :bang: http://service.futuremark.com/resultComparison.action?compareResultId=10967892&compareResultType=14
