Gigabyte is pleased to announce that round one of the Beat Me If You Dare competition ended on October 31st. GIGABYTE would like to extend our congratulations to the winners, whose prizes will be doubled since they were successful in beating the top scores benchmarked by the GIGABYTE in-house OC team.
To kick off the contest, GIGABYTE’s in-house OC team set a new 3DMark Vantage world record with an overall score of 16877 and an incredible GPU score of 15297 with a blazing fast GPU clock of 1100 MHz and memory clock of 1400 MHz. It was then up to the contestants to see if they had the nerve and skill to beat the GIGABYTE record. There were 6 contestants in round one who were able to get their GPU clock over 1100 MHz. Mr. Jon Sandström from Sweden, using a GIGABYTE GTX 260 Super Overclock Edition, successfully conquered the bottleneck and pushed his GPU clock up to an astounding 1200 MHz.
The NVIDIA GTX 260 has proven time and time again to be an amazing overclocking GPU, continually allowing users to break and set higher and higher new world records. Thanks in part to the Beat Me If You Dare competition and all the overclockers’ amazing work, the GTX 260 world record ceiling has possibly been reached with Hipro5 from Greece setting a new 3DMark GPU world record at 16658 with GIGABYTE GTX 260 Super Overclock Edition. GIGABYTE would like to congratulate all contestants for their amazing scores.
Round One Winners:
- First place: Hipro5 from Greece
- Second place: Aristidis & Stelios from Greece
- Third place: James Trevaskis from Australia
- Fourth place: Mike Graf from U.S.A.
