*TechIMO's Top 30 PCs*

[KarmaKiller]

Here it is. The cream of the crop of TechIMO's PC's. You think you gotta chance? Run the benchmarks and lets see.

Links to downloads
-3D Mark 05
-3D Mark 06
-Passmark

You run each of the benchmarks, then add up your score between the 3 and that's your "grand total".
This is how the "Top" PC gets his crown.

Rules:
1. You must have at least 100 posts/or have been a member here for at least 6 months.

2. You MUST post ORB links for the 3D Marks. And a screen shot of PassMark score.

3. You must list CPU/GPU model and speed

4. You must submit all tests before I will add your name to the chart.


I will have 2 charts up, one for SLI/Crossfire, and the other for just single GPU configs.
I'll probably make a spreadsheet of some kind when I get some entry's.

SLI/Crossfire Systems:
(username/system info - - 3DMark 05 - - 3Dmark06 - - Passmark Score - - = Grand Total)

1 JLK03F150| | E8600@4.5GHz 2x HD3870 864/1269 | - | - 29,819 - 20,261 - 1,587.2 =
51,667


2.KarmaKiller |Q6600@3.8Ghz-9800GX2| - 24,499 - 20,271 - 1787.7 =
46,557.7

3. 2Monsters |Q6600@2.9Ghz-8800gts SLI| - 19,515 -15,753 -*** =

Slight Problem... Vantage is only for Vista, so those that are running XP only are SOL.

True. Switch Vantage with my favorite; Aquamark 3 (as it would be the only CPU loving one on the list) and we'll talk

What is an orb link? and try to make the answer simple enough for me to understand. I've seen you guys answer questions like that with big long sentences I can't understand.

[Fizur2002]

can you do orb links with the free versions of the benchmarks?

The Website you upload your scores to for Futuremarks Benchmark programs 3DMark, PCMark, Vantage etc...

you register an account & upload & save your scores etc, when you run 3DMark, & upload your score to Orb you'll see what they mean.

ORB - World of Performance

I was shooting for Vantage because it's the newest bench.
But we can take it out, and just leave it the 3 other 3dMark tests.
I want something that can be validated, so there are no cheaters.

So I'll change to OP to just the 3 3DMarks.

Yes. That free version still allows you to save, but you have a limit to how many you can have saved in your name.

[Fizur2002]
