I see your point and don't really agree or disagree. When I made my first post, I saw no indication that you were aware of the 2nd prize, so I made a false assumption.

Interesting contest, think I've thought of a cool way to do this if I can be bothered.

theJesus · Sep 2, 2011

I'm gonna head over to craigslist and check out the junk people are giving away for free :laugh:

Dr. Nick · Sep 2, 2011

Is that 2 GPUs or 4?

1nf3rn0x · Sep 2, 2011

YES, I knew not chucking out my old p4 with an agp hd3650 would come in handy!!!

LOL, now for some serious underclocking and running with 1 stick on ram. 128mb ftw.!

Completely Bonkers · Sep 2, 2011

OK, this is my starting position, P4 with X800SE flashed X800XT bios donkey's years ago. Currently 8895 3D03marks. http://3dmark.com/3dm03/6434234?show_ads=true&page=/3dm03/6434234?key=THhzmJs8kcCDNcU2MfATbP6eALKQCm I'm surprised it is so much higher than 1nf3rn0x's score above. OK, now to start downclocking

I dusted off an old 9550

I think that the only way to go sub 100, you need an intel IGP

edit:drats can't go lower :S

mystikl · Sep 2, 2011

Just wondering... anyone hit fiddy yet?

i have done the test and i got a very good score

but when i try to send my link the GPU-Z says that "no card detected " !!!!!
the software dosen't detect my card so what can i do to fix this ?
:banghead:

If only my old Presario with win95 had DX9. The cpu runs at 8mhz or something :rockout:

I dont think the UniChrome graphics support DX9. It certainly hasnt completed all the tests so that score is invalid anyway.

joseaugusto1 · Sep 2, 2011

I have a problem just got 98 on 3dmark03 and it went throught all the tests but it wont show on the online score .... any idea of what is happening? thanks guys

Frick · Sep 2, 2011

All you people thinking about using laptops:

All desktop systems are welcome to submit their entry (no notebooks, netboooks, tablets or other such portable systems).

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/contest5.php

The oldets card I've got that can enter is the 9600SE in System specs. We'll see if I can be assed to do it.

Big props to Powercolor/TPU for a fun contest!

EDIT: I might be able to dig up a slot 1 motherboard and put the original celly in it.. No level 2 cache for lyfe!

mystikl · Sep 2, 2011

Why doesn't it show the game tests with the frame rate achieved?

http://3dmark.com/3dm03/6434427?show_ads=true&page=/3dm03/6434427?key=Y0ZKJ3MRyeW05PUq9wkWVB8yZk6YFc

Did it complete the game tests? Try again and see what happens.

You still have to do the benchmark and put it up.

Also, remember this ppl:

The benchmark must have been made during the competition period and must have "PowerColor PIMP MY RIG 2011" in the title.

mystikl · Sep 2, 2011

Tried it 3 times, best it could do is show the result for the first game, I'm guessing it's running so slow it skips the ending of the games and goes to the next game.

It does say default settings. To subtract tests from the settings wouldn't be default.

I can run my radeon 7500 through with default settings complete with an orb score. It however skips half the tests nature being one of them...the bench is however still on default.

Arctucas · Sep 2, 2011

I see some really good overall scores being posted, but it appears some are missing scores for certain elements of the benchmark.

I would like for W1zzard to clarify; in order to qualify, does the ORB link need to show scores for all elements of the benchmark, and if not, what may be excluded? Also, N/A is not considered a score, correct?

In other words; joseaugusto1 got http://3dmark.com/3dm03/6433987, and it appears all the tests have scores.
EDIT: I just noticed Battle of Proxycon is missing, therefore this submission would not qualify?

On the other hand, HalfAHertz got http://3dmark.com/3dm03/6434256 a better score, but is missing Battle of Proxycon and Trolls Lair.

And, I presume the score mystikl got http://3dmark.com/3dm03/6434427 would not qualify because of missing the graphics tests and the fact that the other score show N/A.

The card does not support the mother nature test no point in running anymore as the card is not giving you a valid score.

joseaugusto1 · Sep 2, 2011

Actually i think the problem is when the FPS rate is below 1, when you hit the button Details... it actually shows the FPS rate for all the tests but it wont show them on the website and it only shows those above 1 and Hopefully W1zzard will clarify this issue.

HalfAHertz · Sep 2, 2011

i got 100 - let me see those tears

http://3dmark.com/3dm03/6434324?show_ads=true&page=/3dm03/6434324?key=PPK9E9TWd06V3pc6hs7JceyEQkXuZr

btw I don't know why it doesn't report all the test. I did it with the default settings. It went through all of them- the airplanes, the soldiers, the babe knifing the trolls and the nature one. It was painful to watch running at less than 1 fps and all :eek:

Great!

But, are you not missing the results for Battle of Proxycon, Trolls Lair, Mother Nature, and Rag Doll?
