Edit: Just added this one: GIGABYTE X'MAS & New Year Contest @ HWBot / End 31 January 2012

Discussion thread here:
GIGABYTE X'MAS & New Year Contest

Yeah I know, but do we have the hardware/money for it ?

I mean we need :
i7 3930K or i7 3960X
ASRock LGA2011 motherboard with 4way crossfire support
4x HD 7970
I7 2600K or 2700K
ASRock LGA1155 motherboard with 4way crossfire support

I have only 1000 € in my bank account

So ASRok changed the rules two times yesterday and this morning.

Come on, this is not serious at all, you made rules in place for 4 days before the comp starts and now that the competition just started you change crucial rules.

Good for only one card, but overall doesn't make sense when you know there are different way to disable tesselation or DX11 stuff and FM has no way to check if it's true DX11 score or not.

Physics score only : no problem
Overall : If some want to play dirty they can and FM has no way to prove it has been done

not only tesselation, you can turn off all DX11 features

Or only some if you don't want your score to be ''too'' suspicious
