September 3rd is the kickoff date for the second season of the Marathon Benchmarking Competition. For those of you who are unaware of what it is, this article will serve as a quick rundown. (See bottom of this article for official rules)
What is it?
The Marathon Benchmarking Competition is an in house organized benching competition open to all members of the overclocking community. The MBC runs for eight months, featuring four months of 2D benching and four months of 3D benching.
Divisions
Each month there will be two separate divisions; usually Intel and AMD for 2D with Single-GPU and SLI/CFX for 3D. Points will be awarded the same way for each division, but submissions from one division will not be competing with the other division.
Point System
2D
- First place = 3 points
- Second place = 2 points
- Anyone who competes gets a minimum of 1 point
3D
- Points are awarded for how far above or below average your score is.
- Formula: ((your score/average score)*3) = your points
- Below average < 3, above average >3, average = 3
General Rules

- Post a screenshot of your score in the current month’s thread.
- Screenshots must use current month’s background (posted in current month’s thread).
