PowerColor and TechPowerup Present Pimp My Rig Contest
It's that time again, when bagging some rad graphics hardware is as easy as showing off your PC tuning skills and filling up a form in GPU-Z 0.5.5. PowerColor is back on board with us, and this time what we're giving away will come with the bragging rights of being perhaps the only people in the world to have it! Presenting, PowerColor and TechPowerUp Pimp my Rig Contest 2011!
You stand to win a rare, one of its kind PowerColor dual Radeon HD 6970 X2 prototype, which is designed by its makers to be one of the fastest, most tweakable graphics cards. There's just one prototype on the planet that's fully finished for the consumer, and you stand to win it! All you have to do is get the lowest possible 3DMark 03 score in default settings (of 3DMark), submit the validation link of your feat along with other details in the "PowerColor Giveaway" tab of GPU-Z 0.5.5. That's right, you don't need the fastest hardware to win this contest, just your skills.
That's not all! You can still leave things to Lady Luck. From the pool of valid entries, we will randomly pick one person, who will bag an awesome new PowerColor Radeon HD 6870 X2 dual-GPU graphics card! So there's simply no reason not to try!
For more information, download GPU-Z 0.5.5, and click on the "PowerColor Giveaway" tab. Good luck!

LOL, now for some serious underclocking and running with 1 stick on ram. 128mb ftw.!
thats what i call contest, being different
5 thumbs for powercolor
I dusted off an old 9550 :D
I think that the only way to go sub 100, you need an intel IGP
edit:drats can't go lower :S
:cry: 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:

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!

Also, remember this ppl:
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 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 3dmark.com/3dm03/6434256 a better score, but is missing Battle of Proxycon and Trolls Lair.
And, I presume the score mystikl got 3dmark.com/3dm03/6434427 would not qualify because of missing the graphics tests and the fact that the other score show N/A.

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