TheGuruStudLOL, I just get fed up with this 3DMark crap. I think it's incredible that they can O/C this stuff this well, and I have respect. But, when everyone does this "Look! I beat the 3Dmark record again wooooo!", it just kind of irks me. Now, when you start doing real benchies (like eidairaman1 said) and/or breaking those records, then, I'll have some kudos to hand out.
I just don't get this whole synthetic benchmark jerk-off-a-thon. It means relatively little.....it's SYNTHETIC!

edit: BTW, I love your name, Spankenstein haha

Yes, I am impressed with some benchmarks. People who hard/softmod to get there. But once it is not a real usable system (et liquid nitrogen) I don't really care. Still those people are likely driving some of the changes in technology, so it may be a good thing.

Geeks among men. :D

That is pretty insane nonetheless.

for once Id love to see an AMD chip up there breaking some records :(

I wonder how many of these geeks get paid to use certain components when going for a record.

My only 'props' to them, is having the balls to pull all their junk apart and take it on the road to a convention.

Record or no record, screw that!

@Jpierce

Aye, I agree. I don't think any of these 'records' is relevant in the scheme of things, or to the future of components. Developers and manufacturers will build the best they can, whenever they can and then play the market to make the most money. What a bunch of enthusiasts do with their hardware in this context is meaningless.

"Asus - No.1 in Quality and Services"
Bad joke. The Asus Support is just a big pile of...

And yet it still couldn't run crysis on max......

1.92v on a Quad!!!!!!! Holy smokes batman....

mrw1986Only because they couldn't find any 8800GT in stock :laugh:
