shogan191 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm really looking forward to this one. Not sure what board I'm using yet but I'll come up with something soon enough. Since the hardware and changes are open I can change at anytime so doesn't really matter what I start with. There could be some big hardware changes during this competition.

OceanV47 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Would be intrested, but The latest drivers for nvidia on Vista say they are not approved1 Almost any driver I put on for Vista say's on the Orb that they are not approved. Any sugestions? Link to post Share on other sites

OceanV47 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 XP Ok that leaves me out because I have 3 hard drives in raid for Vista, and if we run PC Mark05 Vista out scores XP. Only have one hard drive with XP. Good suggestion though Flew! Link to post Share on other sites

shogan191 Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'll get with the other master minds and see if we can come up with anything Ocean. Sorry I don't have an answer this moment but I'll have something tomorrow. Every one has a chane elKido. Two of the three drawings don't have any sort of scoring qualification at all.

IntelGuy Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 The 158.18 and 158.22 are FM approved for 06 and 05 (both) and work with the 88's. Do they work with the Ultras? http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark06/approveddrivers/ http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark05/approveddrivers/ Does the driver matter in PCMark05? http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=32 Link to post Share on other sites
