Scenes from TXGF
John Bruno, ATI Engineering, is seen here in the black shirt helping Macci with his rig. John was working hard to keep everyone's Bullhead boards and ATI video cards working under these extreme conditions. He did manage to take a few minutes to turn in one of the highest overclocks that we saw at the show.
ATI seemed to be everywhere, from hosting giveaways to emceeing for the OC competition.
OPPainter spent a good deal of time on camera explaining extreme overclocking. Here, he is talking about his current records at FutureMark to an audience who are astounded by the performance numbers that they are hearing and seeing for themselves at the overclocking competition.
Tony Leach of OCZ was in from England to help with the competition. He was usually around furiously rewriting BIOS code for some special needs - and there were plenty of those with this group.

#9Well as far as the competition goes, nobody won. We weren’t having much luck that day. Although, I did let the ATI Tech John Bruno play with my rig for a while and he actually came up with the highest score of the day. :-)
And yes this is the real OPP.

Have we just been blessed with a visit from an Extememe Overclocking legend? If you are the real OPPAINTER my hats off to you. I have followed your extreme over clocking achievements over at futuremark for some time now and I must say they are nothing short of amazing. Maybe you should consider being a guest contributer to Anandtech. So who actually won the competition anyway?Wesley Fink - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
#3 - . . . and I just thought it was a blatant ad for ATI, since everyone is wearing ATI shirts and there isn't even a picture of the OCZ booth. :-) OCZ was an event sponsor, like ATI, Abit, AMD, and others, which were also mentioned prominently.OPPAINTER - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
A wedding band doesn’t mean a thing. I’ve been married and I can tell you I had more fun with women before and after my marriage.Questar - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link

First page, the picture of the ATI card, the caption reads 500MB version as opposed to 512MB :).EyeSpy - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link

Couldnt have said it better Budman. That is very impressive. Wow! I cant believe the performance one would get with an FX running @ 4 GHz!!!!
