Sheesh.... We gotta do 85-90K now just to compete! You guy's are wicked LOL!

This is a very tough competition. I'm having a really hard time playing with ATI cards in this one.

I guess I won't even try with mine then as it seems to be a nVidia bench all the way. So close but yet soooooo far for me LOL!

I just noticed EVGA got the GeForce GTX 295 CO-OP Hydro Copper back instock and went up on the price to $709.99!:confused3:

bench!!!! Bench till the gpus will take no more..... Then push them harder

yup ;)

Not true. K|np|n's last comp had an ATI winner. You just got to work harder for it ;)

Plus Jeff, this competition isn't all about winning. It's about learning the bench, what order to run the test, etc. The grand scheme is to help you overall as a finesse clocker rather than run and gun. Keep your head up, and bench harder than you ever have :D

Oh I hear ya guy's... I'm trying but I guess there are just some tricks and tweeks out there that I don't know about, but i'll keep grinding.

Heres a tip for my new freinds over at OCA. Your first run after booting will be your fastest, after running the bench, adjust your tweaks (precision, ect..), reboot and try again. :alien:

Jeff I should be in bed instead of benching right now. :p Lemme add you to my msn and I'll talk you through a little 01. Even if that means you beat me. Lemme get to 5ghz uncore first though.

Very good tip Rom. Very true and wise words you speak.
