Flagg7771234 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Was just asked today to toss a system together. The system needs to do hit the 20k mark in 3dmark2001se and 10k on 3dmark03. I got $400 and a case, psu, cdrom, hard drive... So actualy I need a mobo/ram/cpu/gpu.. Can this be done? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I think that is pushing it, with only $400 to spend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesterruckfort Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 i personally dont think so unless you go refurb everything and even then probably not. it will be hard.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciddono Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Nope. You'll need a next-gen video card to hit that 10k, and that'll cost ya $300 or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 That's a mighty tall order Flagg. If you know someone in computer retail maybe..... Otherwise I don't think so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodySunday Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Never heard someone ask for a system by 3D Mark Scores. But with that budget you can't really get much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 yeah, the difference between 6k and 10k in 3dm03 is like $250 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagg7771234 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 oh come on! I have been bragging to all my local friends that you guys are gods here.... come on... not up to the challenge? I said the same thing, My quote was $700 minimum... Yea $400 for video and $300 for mobo/cpu/ram. Don't you love these friends we <all> have that expect us to part the red sea on command? EDIT* well maybe close... http://www.gameve.com/gve/store/productdet...sku=VC-GAIN-119 http://www.partspc.com/store/product1742.html Just under $500 ($480)... Might come close to 10k... what do ya think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 yeah $400 is possible... but you'd have to be like a p0rn star... and also female... and also know a hardware wholesaler who usually trades in bulk but was willing to make an exception in return for a few favours... edit: omfg, i'll help you out right now, don't buy that sack of ship ecs-via puke-inducing contraption! and who runs games on 256MB ram while expecting high benches? i guess it's possible, but i wouldn't even wanna run XP just surfing/emailing/winamp-ing with less than 512MB ram... man, ecs... come aaahn flagg...

ccokeman Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 The vid card is gonna be the deal breaker here i think. A 9800pro will get you over 20,000 with a 2500 mobile but it wont hit 10k on 03. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagg7771234 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 don't know anything about the AMD world... I looked at ecs becouse of an add from ocsystems showing the OC the heck out of one... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
