I know there is a 2nd prize but I just think it's stupid to go through the process when the 2nd prize has nothing to do with the 3dmark03 contest.
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.

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. :p

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!

I know there is a 2nd prize but I just think it's stupid to go through the process when the 2nd prize has nothing to do with the 3dmark03 contest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

i got 100 - let me see those tears :p

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?
