TUL Corporation - a leading manufacture of AMD graphics cards today announces Pimp my rig competition that will begin today and ends on the 16th of March where the users from all around the world can join to compete for the slowest computer in the world.

Who manages to make the slowest 3Dmark 2003 score will be pimped with the fastest upgrade on the planet, PowerColor HD3850 PCS AGP featuring ZeroTherm GX810 cooler, support for DirectX® 10.1, Shader Model 4.1 and Universal Video Decode.


"With "Pimp my rig" competition, PowerColor offers the fastest AGP product in the world to save the lowest computer, let the winner experience the most exciting gaming performance and PowerColor's stunning graphics solution. "says Ted Chen, CEO of TUL Corporation.

Oh man this could be fun but I'd have to find a way to cripple my current PC as I don't have anything older than Wolfdale/Yorkfield. Guess I'll have to start checking the orb to see what people are posting.

OMG, I was just looking to replace my old FX5900 on my AMD Athlon 3200+ riggy. God damn, if only I had access to it.
Can we see anywhere previously submitted results?
Can Geforce 2MX run 3D mark 03?

Slowest possible card for this is FX5200 64bit 64MB.

any video card that is DX8 compatible will run 3dmark03. what id like to knoe is how slow is the slowest comp on orb.

Read the rules, Nature test must be ran and Nature is DX9.

is there a way to undervolt a card and clock it lower than stock, on a 5200 perhaps?

plus a p3 or whatever the lowest that will run 3d mark, with c1 enhanced halt state enabled, or what ever they had back in the paleolithic era lol

1.8GHz Northwood+FX5500 is way too fast.

LOL their prize is an AGP 3850? It's sad that the thousands of people that really need that card won't get it, because they don't have the knowledge/hardware to tweak this low.

Will be fun to watch, though I don't know what you'll do with the prize...

Underclocked my 8400GS and it actually froze up :eek: Never thought it was possible to run a GPU TOO slow, apparently sub-100MHz and it locks up. Almost done tweaking the card, then some driver tweaks and I'll see if I can get sub 100 3DMarkrs. Currently at 118/236/79 core/shader/mem and 3D01 runs like a slideshow :cool: 3D03 will be painful to run

I try. :)

There are so many things possible.
Underclock graphics card, processor, load RAM during test, load hard drive during test, load CPU during test, try and find an application that doesn't need focus to load the GPU during test, possibly hook up another monitor and clone whatever is displayed on one monitor to the next, creating double the load, minimal amounts of RAM (like 128mb).

Laptops are a great candidate too. (which is kind of depressing)

Call k|ngp|n, tell him there is a new crave, he doesn't have to get high scores anymore, just lowest.

I am going to try this on my Inspiron 6000... I did 150 on that with everything on stock (GMA900/1GB/1.86 Sonoma)...

Now let's see what it does with a downclocked GMA900, 512MB, loads of apps, defragmenting, scanning for viruses and memtest... WITH the CPU downclocked to 100Mhz :rofl:

I'm hooking up a system now, with parts so old they don't have names. The PCB's are all yellow, and it looks 80'ish. The CPU is an AMD and the GFX has 32MB ram. I hope it can run 03.

I managed to submit a 50 with a Tforce6100 and 3800+ X2. May be it's worth trying my Venice. I thought about putting together a socket 370 rig with a Coppermine Celeron, a fx5600 and Vista, but I don't know...6100 onboard is pretty slow. I wonder how low the winning score will be? Probably will be a PCI FX5200.

I have a feeling if I had a FX5xxx series card I could be sub 20 points. I hit 67 points with an 8400GS and an E8400, if that isn't crazy tweaking I don't know what is :(

it's actually very cool particularly cause most guys didn't have low end hardware and had to rely on skill to get the clocks down whichever way they could :D

I have the same thing happen if I'm running ultra-low underclocks on this 8400GS but it happens with Troll's Lair. The 1st two tests will run fine but the 3rd test will just stay in the black screen after it's loaded and I have to reboot the system. Is your issue just a matter of "unstable" clocks? Perhaps try above-stock clocks? Wish I had an AGP system lying around.

Holy cow man. You have some huge potential there. I just ran my final run for this competition as I cannot get the core, shaders, or memory any lower without the system crashing. FSB won't go any lower, memory won't go any looser, LOD doesn't help, quality filters don't get any stronger, random tweaks don't help anymore. Talk about a damn fun competition, maybe I'll stumble across a weaker GPU or utilize my GMA950.

They only require the 3dmark score, not the CPU score, nor the rest of the junk.

my system of a 3.2 P4 underclocked to 2.7 and my 9600xt heavily underclocked and running orthos brought me a score of 609. i'm out.
my friend lost his 1.4ghz P4 and gave away his fx5200.

You're on dude. I am considering getting an FX5200 this weekend but that would be a waste of money. I just hope someone doesn't post a 6 this weekend before I can. I think 6 is will be the absolute lowest you can get. I am just wondering how hard I can push that little system before it crashes. I just got it out of the shed and am going to put Win2k on it. If I buy/borrow a low end card this weekend I will post some results or I will do it at work on Monday.

Please note that you should never set the value of /maxmem to be less than 8, or Windows NT may not boot reliably.

Sorry for not posting anything yet. Have been major busy at work. I actually found an older PC than that and it is all set up with Win2k. I just need time after work to throw a card in and hurt the thing as bad as possible. :up: It actually barely runs Win2k if you guys remember those kind of machines. :rofl: Going to be fun but the weekend is coming up quick!

So you wanna win a 3850 by submitting the lowest score of your 3870??

Well I wouldn't be completely honest if I say that I didn't expect that.This is just too low for my laptop. I was able to pull it down to a 9 but a score of 5 with my Core2 Duo and a 7400go seems unreachable.
Well it was incredibly time consuming, but it was fun at some point though. Too bad that the winner is not an Xtreme member; nevertheless good luck and congrats to whoever the winner is :up:

Hopefully it actually went to somebody that could use it. Problem is his computer is probably so damn old he'd have to upgrade the rest of it, lol.

NO, 3D mark wouldnt run

Less ram doesnt do jack shiet

in fact, you need more ram to win

because the background 3D-stressing applications need system ram to run
