PowerColor Announces “Pimp My Rig” Contest

February 29th, 2008 at 14:06 under News, Overclocking.

Been a bit busy guys but I found this interesting enough. Powercolor is sponsoring a contest with the goal being score the lowest 3DMark 2003 score. Contrary to most contests where the goal is to be the fastest, PowerColor has decided to reward people for the slowest machines. The reward for having the lowest 3DMark2003 score will be a PowerColor HD3850 AGP video card, which makes sense as in theory an AGP-based system should be the slowest of them all. I find this to be great news as ANYONE can compete so long as their computer can complete 3DMark2003. I myself haven’t got any “old” computer parts lying around but I’m going to give this a shot with my laptop’s integrated graphics and maybe my desktop with my 8400GS, if I don’t blow it up for my 2008 XS Cheapazchips run this afternoon. Hope some of you decide to try your hand at this, it should be loads of fun. I’m already thinking of ways to cripple my computer, oh this has me excited.
