Codename: Sandy Bridge

I think that is because of a non single discrete card setup...
The staff could confirm that, but it's written on the rules..

This is correct. The contest is single card only to not make it all about SLI and let more people compete as it's a Sandy Bridge themed event.

FYI, NVIDIA ForceWare 270.61 drivers have now been approved and are also valid for this contest.

Hmm need to do some official runs with my 2720qm :) I got a pretty good score this morning but did not check drivers or even submit it.

EDIT: Drivers approved but it does not recognize the CPU so I guess its not going to accept it

The CPU is now recognized.

Wow, someone already hitting 4k , the IGP almost have the same performance of the GT425M, Nice one

Mine was hitting P25xx at the moment with 15xx Mhz,

I'm really want to know the clockspeed of the GMA HD3000 mobile on that 4k run, is it about 2200Mhz++ ?

Heh. Turns out that the 4000+ integrated scores are actually cases where there is a NVIDIA GPU device present running the actual benchmark, but our detection shows the integrated option as the primary GPU.

I'm currently in the process of fixing these manually.

Looks like there's currently no better way, so everyone should remain skeptical of mobile CPU's that are scoring 3000+ on Intel integrated as I have to check them manually to see the exact configuration.

The contest has now rolled to week 3.

Stay tuned for preliminary winners for the first two weeks early next week after I go through the top results and check for inconsistencies or other weirdness early next week.

Good luck everyone and keep going higher!

Yes, unless you disable the second GPU on the card by forcing SLI off in NVIDIA drivers.

Your card is effectively two GTX 460s "glue together" in one physical card.

multi-chip cards are allowed - quote from the rules. im using single card with 2 GPUs.

Phew, finally nailed that P3000+ mark

P3175 - 1950Mhz GPU Clock with 1.45v vGPU

Hopefully it's good enough for week 3

* time to put iGPU under cold n see how it scales [yes]*

Forwarded this to Pasi to figure out what's up then.
