Well i don't think its too much of a problem here. You seen oc.net? Half of us would not even get in the top 100 over there. They allow tess disabling and other tweaks. :D

Yep. When I first started the 3DMark11 thread, it was done with trust but in reality, it would have levelled the playing field to allow tessellation modifications but I was a bit green then and I would still like to have the test done "As it was intended". The idea was to show your results and let people compare their systems to see if anything was wrong but it ended up as a hell for leather thread instead.

I know how to modify 3DMark11 to alter the LOD without FutureMark knowing but that isn't something I would ever do or contemplate doing, as cheating has never been in my nature and top marks to all the people who have posted results, as at no time have I ever thought that people were cheating.

The ridicule would be enough :D

Well i don't eve know if there is a way to glitch AMD results. According to the link i posted it detects everything but im sure theres a way somehow. It spoils the fun though, no point in cheating just to get higher on a forum leaderboard imo.

I have absolutely no idea but I believe it is Radeonpro that is needed. nVidia use nVidia Inspector to alter settings without getting caught or should say in allowed modifications :p

Yep you will get a small boost to your graphics score when you overclock the cpu.

Have you tried putting the fans to 100% while you bench to stop the cards from throttling? It may be noisy but for a quick bench what does it matter.

Good point, I was so pleased with my new fan profiles giving me a much more silent PC that I forgot to ramp them up, I've no doubt the first GPU will still hit it's limit, but it might sustain the boost clocks longer.

My hotest CPU cores are reaching 51 after 30 min of burn in on Furmark, so I should be able to clock it up a bit.

I'll have a play later and see what I can do :)
