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!

To the best of my limited knowledge, N/A means the test failed or did not complete.
If that is the case, I have been wasting time trying to get scores for each and every test, including the sound tests.
CPU scores were not included in the final score until 3DMark06.
But, as you say, we still need to know what is and what is not acceptable, since the rules are vague regarding that point.
3d mark 2003 uses the scores of these 4 tests to calculate the final score, so i guess that we only need valid runs on those.
It is not hard to score 0 or 1 on this contest , it do not depend also on hardware , i managed to get 49 from a gtx 570 and 2600k .

tests really take too long to complete and it do not make sense to waste more time ,
Stuff here has first to clarifies what do the valid result stand for , i was also able to get a 0 in overall score (all test passed), i think getting too low will result in N/A in all score with overall of 0
