Benching Party II: Hardware Thread

[Voidn]

AA and AAA batteries for thermometers and multimeters might come in handy.

Those are things that we can pick up at the local corner store.

I don't see digital thermometers listed. Hope you guys didn't forget

 

[EarthDog]

Should I list my boxers too? Its none. Commando!

On a serious note, I am bringing one, and will add it, but somethings are just a given.

 

[Dolk]

I think everyone owns one, if not we should have enough people bringing their own. I know not all 13 of us will be benching at the same time.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

I've got one too. Some people have dual input. I'm going to be benching a gpu and cpu pot with SB so I might need to temporarily trade my single input for a dual. I just want to be able to keep an eye on the SB temps.

So, could i use someone's monitor at the party? I'd need a high res monitor though, as i'm gonna be benching 3d with a gtx480, so i need a bigger monitor for newer benches.

Also, i'm gonna need a gpu pot, preferably a fat body, to handle the load of the 480.

 

[Janus67]

Hmm, that reminds me - what res do we need for the 3d benchmarks? I can bring a 1280x1024 screen and/or a 1600x900 screen but I don't know if I can squeeze in my 24'' 1920x1200 monitor (and not 100% sure I would want to).

 

[EarthDog]

Unigine Xtreme is 1920x1080, otherwise I believe all boint scoring benches are 1280x1024 or less?

I'm bringing a 1920x1080, so that should cover anything high res. I'll be taping cardboard over the screen to protect it in travel. I'm also bringing another screen that only does 1024x768, it doesn't get the premium cardboard safety treatment... But it should do the trick if we need an extra monitor.

Well, since I've run out of enough time to do all the OS installs I wanted to, I'm going to be bringing 2 benching stations instead of one. That way I can do the OS installs on one while I'm benching on the other.

And once I've got that done, the station can be used by someone else if needed.

 

[Bobnova]

Xtreme is 1680x1050, thankfully. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to run it!

3d11's xtreme is 1080p though I think.

 

[Dolk]

I have my 22inch with me now. Should cover it all.

 

[hokiealumnus]

3d11's xtreme is 1080p though I think.

3D11 Performance (the one worth hardware -not global!- boints) is 1280x720 (720p), so no need for the fancy monitor for that either. The only thing with the higher requirement is Heaven.

moved this public, no secrets in here, and I want to link to it in the frontpage story
