PowerColor Announces PIMP MY RIG Competition

Nitro-Max · Feb 29, 2008

Wonder if i can underclock my 350mhz pentium i have in the shed it only has 64mb of ram and 16mb onboard graphics ram.Its the slowest piece of crap ever.
Just wish i still had a 486 33mhz lmao.

No point underclocking my quad core its still gonna do quite well.

nguyenpeter76 · Feb 29, 2008

wonder how pentium 4 1.5ghz single core, riva tnt2 32mb will score

actually found use for ancient computer.

cool, now wheres that 64bit 5200 i had laying about

I use to think Nvidia was ripping people off with those 64-bit 5200 cards... but now, it looks like that may be the card to win this competition!! :laugh:

Honestly, I wonder if there could be a way to enter just for fun - with no desire to win, because I have little need for an ATI HD3850 with an AGP interface. They really should throw in a decent power supply as well, because I highly doubt that some of those older PC's have enough power to run an HD3850.

Necrofire · Feb 29, 2008

1. Underclock, run 3dmark while cpu is 100%.
2. Receive HD3850 AGP, sell HD3850 on ebay.
3. ????
4. Profit!

damn 3512

And now we can turn on "50cent - This is how we do" and sing "This is how we cheat" :rockout:

BTW guys be aware - All tests including nature must be supported. Otherwise result will not be accepted.

Kasparz · Feb 29, 2008

I have few 5200 64bit 64MB, and some slow AGP systems too somewhere. Should hit ~50-100pts easy peasy.
Lets say, i have slowest DX9 capable cards.
Legally slowest you could do with 486 33MHz with SiS chipset and 5200 on PCI. Maybe i can find those somewhere

Lets start.

overclocker · Feb 29, 2008

i just got a score of 318 with a intel 1000 and ati 9250 underlocked

trying again

Kasparz · Feb 29, 2008

9250 is not DX9 card.
If i remember correctly, i got ~30pts with OVERCLOCKED GF2 MX200, but thats due to DX7 support and only test ran was GT1.

overclocker · Feb 29, 2008

CRAP your right bummer all i got new is 2 x1600xts or my hd 3850

Kasparz · Feb 29, 2008

lets run 5200 on 900MHz Athlon, for the moment 3dmark03 is running at hard slideshow. And thats stock system, no tweaks or downclocking. The best part would be 3dmark06 on this system

183pts for stock system.
96pts for stock system and lot of background crap

InnocentCriminal · Feb 29, 2008

I know it's not stated in the rules, but I can't help but think underclocking is cheating.

W1zzard · Feb 29, 2008

even with underclocking it wont be easy to get the really low scores .. show me how you can beat 200

Random Murderer · Feb 29, 2008

hmm. looks like i gotta underclock my emu box...

Just did it with stock system. Now i'm running with LOT of background crap, and test load takes about 3min each. First test screen after test load about half minute. This is more funny than overclocking :laugh:

yep i usually never join such competitions, but this one is just too much fun to pass.. already killed a 9550 with bios flash while trying to make it slower

mdm-adph · Feb 29, 2008

I've got an old 64-bit 5200 PCI going in a 75Mhz Pentium I right now.

only agp cards

Nitro-Max · Feb 29, 2008

I have a diamond speedstar A55 8mb agp card its a beast!!!!! for this competition lol only thing is i tried to fire up my 350mhz pentuim and its dead i think the damp got to it in the shed and i had to evict a family of mice so im out

Nitro-Max · Feb 29, 2008

i think the mouse terd might have rotted the chips.

i have an idea

i think i got this down

Kasparz · Feb 29, 2008

My idea seems to be working. Its already ~40mins since i pressed Run 3dmark button, and so far haven't seen any test screen. Argh, 3dmark lost focus. That means running few CPU load programs at realtime priority isn't working

Sh00t1st · Feb 29, 2008

i would hope that you jerks who have ample computer parts lying around and jobs and pretty nice systems from what i have seen, would just butt out of this, no offense but it takes away from the gamers who are stuck with old tech, not very fair guys. hell im not even entering and i only have an x800xl which i already have to underclock just so it wont artifact.
anyways why screw with people like me or others who are less fortunate. get mad at me if you want its my opinion lol. and like i said im not entering as its unfair to those less fortunate
