3D mark score and putting your specs in your sig are basically bragging rights.

This is a computer forum, so having your specs in your sig tell others what you have which could be for bragging rights, but is also to help members when you make a thread with a question, we have a better idea as to what the issue is knowing what hardware and/or OS you are running.

You'd see the same thing on other forums, photography forums have their cameras and lenses in their sig, cell phone forums have their cell phones in their sig, etc.

Anyways, let's get BACK ON TOPIC guys!

Who is to say people don't come here to brag in the first place, this thread is kind of about bragging. Not that I have anything against it, and I put my system up against everyone else's. I just don't want do discourage people from having to have the top of the line hardware to play COD4, or whatever.

3Dmark06 is old and out dated and it barely reflects what most modern hardware rigs can run. If it were to utilize all four cores of my processor along with its 12MB of Cache, and actually thread out instruction sets to it with out falter, I could see my rig out performing all dual core machines.

So, don't feel like you need to upgrade because 3Dmark won't boost your 12k score to a 14k score. You can still play video games.

As for the enthusiast that likes to over clock and tweak and push it to the limit (queue 80s song), then go for it. I could care less and yes, that is what this thread is about. Posting your scores and improving them.

@ tlarkin: Well of course this thread is about bragging! The purpose of this thread is simple. It's to compete with ourselves (otherwise there'd be no point in having a list of ranks) and improve our "performance" in gaming as you said. As well as comparing and contrasting our setups to get an idea. I agree that this may not be accurate in terms of real world applications but hell! It serves as a good little-hobby for the forumers.

Honestly, I don't see a problem with this thread (not saying you do)

Bragging? I almost got 21k with a 4.6Ghz dual core.

[/brag]

Alright on a side note, i tried to boot my normal benching settings for 4.6 today, and it was a no-go. :mad::eek:

I'll get it... though i'm thinking about going i7 :cool:

Next time you over clock your machine for 3Dmark scores you HAVE to play this song while you are doing it, or you will be banned from the thread
