Which is bollocks and shouldn't have counted. An actual low score (with a crappy video card) should have won, not this.
Not to mention his rig doesn't need "pimping", but whatever.

I'm with 'rpsgc' on this. This should have been won by some dude with a 10 yr old rig. Something beige and Bill Gates-ish.
Random prize was random prize. Can't argue with that.
Non-random prize... congrats on scoring such a low score... but I thought the competition would have been better using approved drivers and "true working rig". Handouts to the people running the true slowest rig would have been more in the TPU spirit IMO. But I'm not knocking Sheng. He won within the rules of this competition.
But how did he do it? Should be part of the win requirement to reveal all ;)
seriously... how the HELL do you get a score THAT low????
He is running a 5770, Phenom II, and 4gig ram... with scores like ".07"???
oh... wait a tick... unapproved driver.
appears he is using a 'special' driver for the 5770.
kudos for duping the challenge with 'tweaks' :cool: LoL
this is much better than my specs, i can't afford them but he can and now has a video card that i can't afford either...nicely done

just poor people and not honesty :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
a Ati radeon HD 5770 is more powerfull than a Ati Radeon HD 5450.
POWER UP! admin should see the score better and delete the fakes
angry about it :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
