I asked in the OP to disable any onboard GPU and showed a image of what isn't acceptable. You wade in with a great score showing what isn't acceptable and feel you can jump down my throat.

In the 3DMark11 thread I asked to provide a link to the online validations. Nothing more and you got all huffy with that.

These are a bit of fun and the required rules are simple. You couldn't follow simple rules and demand that you will moderate it yourself....Way to go and abuse your power.

I tried it a while back mate, (think i even made a post on the 247 forums about it). Couldnt get it too run back then, crashed every browser when trying to launch bf3. So i uninstalled virtu and disabled the igpu, helps to keep temps down when oc'ing the cpu too.

Its a cool feature though. Shame it doesn't work on my p8p67 it would be handy to have a pre-installed and usable backup to my main card.
 
Great idea in theory, think it only works on Z68 and Z77 chipset boards though. I was quite intrigued with the idea of the virtual v-sync feature. Shame it was a curse trying to get it to play ball.

Fair play but I would think it is better for people to know, so they have a heads up of who to avoid.

The cards are stated in my build thread.

Bit sore about it after dropping £6k with a well known ocuk competitor and then getting shafted on a minor rma.

I will only be buying cards in future which allow heatsink removal.

Hmmm, You say this yet you still accept peoples scores when they are showing a second GPU which is Obviously not a GPU being used?
8Pack's score is good because he has the hardware to make it good... Not that some crappy MVP software is enabled.

The HD4000 second GPU is only there because some people wish to use the IGUP as a means to display stuff on other monitors without killing powerplay.

I have been kicked off, so enter what you like ;)
 
Don't like the way gregster has been treated here. We know 8pack can lay the smack down but in interests of diplomacy when you set a rule everyone needs to comply in order to maintain a level playing field. Whether we are all playing on the same field is a different matter due to the massive scores 8pack posts.

It takes me about 15 minutes to do my run so it is easy for me to say that 8pack should re.run his bench but it also needs to be appreciated that the amount of time and effort to get a bench like that can be hours of work.

Also, the amount of time gregster puts into these threads is also many hours and is a labour of love and his wishes should be respected, mod or no mod. If you don't like the rules, create another thread.

I await the x79 spankage from 8pack as surely a massive score is incoming over the coming weeks.
