    Take a second to look at who the drivers where provided from =)

    Anyways I will be putting up some gaming benchmarks shortly

    Not too shabby on your FarCry2, just wait to see the post tommorow or this week for these.

    The games run flawlessly now. And hopefully will have the new 8-12's implemented by tommorow afternoon.

    What's your point hoop? The setfsb C++ mod allows you to use 4 cores and this is your intro? Talk to me bro.

    Yes anyone can change that thats why I provided the add/remove tools screenshot bro =).

    After pulling a trillion and half strings managed to obtain teh drivers from flextronics. Good luck if you want to try that =)

    The set FSB C++ does not allow the use of all 4 cores it only allows you to set 2 up but you can choose the alternate 2 that arent affected by the multiplier. Not to mention that would be a solid FSB overclock.

    Oh by the way will have a new BIOS that fixes the step up on the Q9300 thanks to Mark and I talking drieclty with the engineer from Intel.

    So I will post a bunch of screenshots etc to show you what I am talking about.

    Will have a TON of new info up at GoG this week

    I'd love to see it if I weren't banned. It was supposed to be up by Turkey day.. but mark was MIA. Guess he made it back around. And yea.. I expect to see the 6k+ CPU score on 3dmark. But, still sukin on all other aspects of it. Tell ya what, if you break the 8k sm2.0 and 9k sm3.0 then I'll be eyes wide open ;)

    why not just show it off now? I really don't care.. but then again, I'm not trying to compete with quad-core. Kinda like a paraplegic racing a person that can walk.

    I dont have it all done yet. Just got the drivers installed and tested with some games and programs. Have some other stuff to do. Just wanted to drop in and say hello and provide tons of stuff for everyone.

    Im not competing. I am just sharing the new info. By the way we are going to see some extremely big numbers out of the x9100. I will share alot of the work but Mark did it so I will see what he would like for me to provide.

    Not being mean just dont feel it would be right to take credit for others work.

    Oh BTW E-wrecked going to send you a PM this week, with some info that will get you at least 10 FPS if you dont mind providing me the settings you were at with OCs etc.

    It will have to wait till tommorow before I can get all the results did a reformat and changed some things around and all my data is on a external HD.

    Didn't think was going to get such a quick response lol.

    I like to have all the facts in order and all the test correct before I post it up. So I dont get flamed to harshly.

    Have a good night E-wrecked. Will have some results up tommorow night.

    No flames from OCZ forum ma'an. Just looking for the results.. don't go teasing folks if ya ain't got the pics and all toy us along further. And, where is that OC database GoG said would be up by Thanksgiving? It's almost Christmas!

    Anyhow, I sent you a PM a couple weeks ago letting you know that I'd work as hard as you have.. hopefully you got it.

    Oh, and my next driver version will come out in 2012.

    No need to PM.. Here's the deal. I know you were in the OCZ forum and asking them for BIOS support. Unfortunately, those guys have *no* clue about true hardware support, let alone BIOS support. You're looking to find the BIOS that is unlocked and PBE can access. Unfortunately, there isn't a BIOS support available thru them. BIOSMAN also cannot edit the BIOS. There are a few folks who can, Wistron being the one with the easiest access..then it's just a matter of the right person getting ahold of it. I recently emailed the BIOS to Margaret and she is currently working on it for me. Those taiwanese peeps must have a tight secret. ;) Anyhow, when I get my feedback I'll let you know.

    not all of them, just a few..lol

    aight E. maybe we are missing something...start small then work your way up. you may also have to jump back to earlier drivers to see if that makes a big difference.

    Off the record and as a quick question.
    My current laptop (not an OCZ) plays DVD's very choppy but it burns CD's Ok. Is this usually due to drivers, Codecs, overheating or age?

    I would agree, except 1) the timing of when this member joined is suspect, 2) the statements he's made so far in those 36 posts of his are sentiments and claims made by MM in the past ("Find more posts by NvidiaGeForceFan" :D ) and 3(probably the biggest giveaway)) check out the link provided in post number 517 in the GTA IV Performance thread under the Gaming section. Nonetheless though, it's good to have some diversity and adversity back in the OCZ section :)

    Back to the topic at hand, I don't see K|N/hooper's post at GoG yet, though he said it would be up monday night. I'm sure he's getting great numbers in FC2, but I want to see what effect the QX9300 has over the X9100.

    pfft, you know I'm right, unless he has a twin brother who also has a Sager 9262 with the 9800M GTX SLi and a 1680x1050 resolution... ;)
