We have another contest running for users with GIGABYTE -hardware.
Contest page
This time we have two separate categories:
1) P55 Overclocking
Simple, really. Highest published 3DMark06 scores with a GIGABYTE -motherboard with Intel P55 chipset and Intel CPU submitted within the contest time frame win prizes.
Benchmark needs to be run at default settings, unreleased or engineering sample components not allowed, approved drivers need to be used.
Winning scores need to be published in ORB for verification purposes.
2) 10K Challenge
Score exactly 10000 3DMarks with 3DMark03, 3DMark05, 3DMark06 or 3DMark Vantage.
Hardware requirements: GIGABYTE motherboard with Intel CPU
