2D would open it up to more people even if 3D had a cap. Please no 01 contest. That seems to be what it is everywhere not to mention a contest talked about here since November. If you do 3D do something different like Vantage, 11 or hell even 05. I say bring out an air bench contest. Forget LN2 for a change. Maybe make it a 2D Sandy contest. I say Sandy because it is the latest.

01 with nature cap ftw.

we need to find the right cap tho.

if you make nature cap too low ATi will just win without any contest. if you make it too high nvidia will win.

find a balance where ati and nvidia can compete on same level.

i think that would be around 1200 -1250 nature cap if you want ati and nvidia to compete equally.

ati wont get close to that nature cap but it will score so high in the other tests scores will be close

+1 !

Just trying to think outside the nature capped 01 box, rofl.

[Patch]

Do sandy bridge 3Dmark06 or 3Dmark05 with a 5 Ghz cpu cap.

Air only on card and CPU.

Use ANY card you want as along as there are at least 75 hwbot single card air submissions. (or 100?)

Winner is the guy who has the highest single card air hwbot hardware rank.

If several people rank hardware spot #1 for their card, then "flip a coin" for the winner.

Broad participation. Fun. And will grab gobs of boints for your team.

Just like I was thinking.

Why's it gotta be about Intel all the time? How about making it a little more AMD friendly.

Terrible idea IMO :

Don't misunderstand me, I'd gladly compete against any Intel platform. I just can't get to the 5 gig plateau.

Scotty, don't misunderstand me - I don't have any AMDs to run except for a real old Turion (sp?) from a computer I bought my daughter 10 years or so ago rofl
