re: 2nd Annual PC Gamers Benchmark/E-Peen Competition *POST YOUR SCORES!*

We need to make a list of the known PC gamers who have posted here in the past year, and then stalk/hijack the threads they've been active in. This thread is not going to get a whole lot of visibility just hanging out midway down the gaming board page all day.

Blue, you should make a running list in the first post, and then we can divvy up the names and e-stalk.

A few:

Mostly based on my Steam List and/or people who have e-mailed me for PC help. I know there are plenty more.

And I'll try to do a benchmark soon. Been busy with work, and I've been sick for the past 5 days. Thought my cold was getting better, but it's worse today.

This will do.



a) Intel i7 4770k @ 4.7 @ 1.34v
b) MSI Z87 MPower
c) 2 x MSI R7970 @ 1250/1850; 1 x HIS R9-280X @ 1200/1800 (Triple Crossfire)
d) 3DMark 11: P22943 (Graphics Score 35008)

EDIT: I don't want any of the prizes unless someone offers a game I really want.

My PC is so shitty cant run 3Dmark 11. I am taking donations.

Sorry man. Redid my OC the other day but then updated my drivers to beta which caused instability. Had to roll them back. Will finalize my OC this week and post results.

I want to throw in a copy of monaco. I know it isn't much but the more prizes the better.

Also, perhaps we can categories for those running last gen hardware or single gpu configs.

My PC is woefully under powered compared to what I've seen from most of the board but I'll join in. After all, maybe I'll win Coyote's spare PC parts, which are probably better than anything I would buy right now if I were trying to build a new system.

I'm going to try and do mine soon but I'm in the middle of moving so I've been tied up.

You need to list your parts, I know you say it is out of date but I don't even know what you have

I was going to just list it when I posted my score but I'll list it here. I built this PC about 6 years ago and have only swapped out hard drives and the video card since then. When I initially built it I had a standard HDD in it. It now has a SSD.

MB: MSI P35 Platinum Combo LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX LINK
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz LGA 775 65W LINK
GPU: GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 LINK
RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 LINK

I'm surprised it's actually lasted me this long. I'm still able to play "modern" games like Bioshock Infinite on mostly "high" settings, though I have to make concessions in other areas like aliasing for example.

I have a feeling once I have kids that will be me. If we got pregnant today i would sell my pc right away. poor people problems

2 little ones take up a lot of free time and $1400+ every month for school takes up the other precious resource. I'm also not rich.

If I could, I'd primarily game on PC but sometimes, when you get a couple of hours to yourself, it's nice to just put a game in a machine and play rather than fiddle with settings for optimal frame rate, etc.

(I'm aware messing with settings isn't always required for PC gaming, but I know myself and that's what I tend to do.)
