Futuremark, maker of benchmarking software such as the 3DMark and PCMark suites, has announced the return of its Lords of Overclocking competition.
The competition is open to professionals, enthusiasts, and hobbyists from all over the world and will use 3DMark 11 and MSI graphics cards. The top contestants from each region (Americas, Europe/Africa, and Asia-Pacific) will win a grand prize trip for two to compete in the MSI Master Overclocking Arena 2011 grand final in Taipei. Prizes will also be awarded for the top performers in each region as well as for randomly picked participants.
“We are excited to once again bring the world’s most talented overclockers together for our annual Lords of Overclocking competition,” said Jukka Mäkinen, Futuremark CEO. “With great prizes on offer from some of the most recognized names in PC performance it promises to be a closely fought contest.”
