At last months overclocking competition @ hwbot it was time to pullout all the 8series cards from Nvidia and put them to the test.
The competition was divided into 3 stages
3Dmark01 (singel vga)
3Dmark03 (singel vga)
3Dmark06 (do whatever you want)
We had a nice start in this competition and we managed to stay #3th team, but then my i7 2700k stopped working all out of the blew :( While we still had some benching to do it failed on us....
For the 3Dmark03 stage we had an 8800Ultra and managed to get 4th place on that stage. For the 3Dmark01 stage we had an 8800GTS 512 and got an #9th place (we still had lots of benching/tweaking to do with that card so our best 01score was with an 8800Ultra) For the 3Dmark06 stage we had 3 8800GTX but when my processor died i received the 3th card so we only benched 2-way sli with the GTX :'( with that 2-way sli we got #8th place.
Here are some system pics:

Last couple moths we have been very busy overclocking! and the result of that is our 3th place national in the Netherlands. Probably the main reason for our big jump in team points is bacause of an Nvidia 8 series competition, results of this competition will be posted ass soon as it ends. Of course we are all very happy about this but it wont be a reason to get slacking, we will keep pushing and hopefully take 2th place some day.
Happy benching!

Intel to Omit Release of Enthusiast-Class "Ivy Bridge" Processors This Year.
Written by mausio
Monday, 19 March 2012 10:29
Those, who expected to upgrade their extreme-performance systems six-core Intel Core i7-3900-series "Sandy Bridge-E" LGA2011 chips inside with even faster "Ivy Bridge-E" chips later this year will probably have to wait until at least the second half of 2013, as Intel has no plans to launch new generation of enthusiast processors in 2012.
The delay of Intel Corp.'s code-named "Ivy Bridge" microprocessor has apparently caused massive shift in the chipmaker's roadmap. According to what is presumably the latest version of Intel's roadmap, the company will not only postpone the release of the next-generation code-named "Haswell" chip by several months to March - June, 2013, timeframe, but will also not release
enthusiast-class "Ivy Bridge-E" central processing unit (CPU) in 2012.
Based on a slide that resembles those from Intel's roadmap, which was published by ComputerBase web-site, the chip giant will not release its six-core or eight-core Ivy Bridge-E chips either this year or in the first half of 2013. Moreover, with the next-generation Haswell launching in late Q1 or Q2 2013, the destiny of the Ivy Bridge-E seems to be somewhat gloomy as the former may challenge the latter in terms of performance.
Given the fact that Intel's enthusiast-class platforms cannot be challenged by its arch-rival Advanced Micro Devices these days, the company may introduce speedier versions of its Extreme Edition microprocessors or may not. The company does have plans to release Core i7-3980X model, but it is unclear whether the novelty will sport boosted clock-speeds or will have two additional cores turned on and will therefore be an eight-core part.
Intel's Ivy Bridge, Ivy Bridge-E and Haswell central processing units are made using Intel's innovative 22nm process technology with tri-gate transistors.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Were now a couple months into 2012, and so far its been quit interesting for us. To begin with we advanced from 6th team in Holland to 4th and i guess 3th position is achieved pretty soon! On the other hand we made some adjustments to the site! we got a new forum which runs mush better and faster. Also i'm not lying if i said that our team activity increased in a Mother Russia style of: 140% To give you an example for what's about to come here are some pictures:
8800 family from top to bottom: Ultra - GTX - GTS 640mb - GTS 320mb - GT 512mb 8800 GTS 640mb and the 320mb voltmodded
