No you wouldn't. Only a handful of people will score the magic "1".

uuuaaaaaa · Sep 4, 2012, 07:11 PM

Rig is set up already, lets see I can go below 5. Last year I managed a 5.

camoxiong · Sep 4, 2012, 08:03 PM

so any computer is welcome to do it?

so yes like the lotto I won't win, i bet someone already sent in a verified 1 score before i even woke up and read this

Guys.. getting the score of 1 is not easy. SO don't assume there's a 1 already. Plus if there's a 1 I'm sure they will post it here since it is first come first serve. Eg first submission wins.

XSI · Sep 5, 2012, 12:29 AM

man...I really hate loosers mentality. first of all its to assume, everything is lost then complainings follow as it was ment to be...
either do something or zip It. if you dont plan to succed/win you plan to fail/loose.
no offence or bad feelings towards any member of this community, guys keep your act together,please, seriously
do you wanna win?do you want to participate, do you want to prove yourself or your skills or do you come here to complain????

I just got a clarification from PowerColor regarding the rules. No notebooks of any kind are allowed. No exceptions for MXM

Also the best score so far is not 1 so you still have chance

bigboi86 · Sep 6, 2012, 09:48 PM

Just scored 13..

Almost there.

i tryd to do ray tracing in the background while running 3dmark03 looks like cpu does not effect it niether does furmark so im thinkin abouth rendering heavy gpu models above 6 millions polygons at once

uuuaaaaaa · Sep 7, 2012, 07:03 PM

Got 6 on my 2nd run.

Atom_Anti · Sep 8, 2012, 09:17 AM

It is too bad no notebooks are allowed. I only have one desktop with 3Dfx VooDoo 5 5500 AGP, but that is not support DirectX 9 effects for 3DMark03.

Krazy Owl · Sep 9, 2012, 04:28 AM

If it's an integrated graphic card with Dx9 is it considered as a stand alone card?
