I'm up for it, sign me up. Last Ati card I benched was an X300!

[[XC] Hicks121]

Heck ya Andy, I would definently be in on this. I dont have a $50 card, but that wont be a problem to get .

This will be alot of fun im sure. I also think we will see some dead cards too..lol

Now what cards are we talkning about? We should make a list.

Hicks

[TheGoat Eater]

I'm down!

now what are talking about with cooling types allowed??? passively cooled cards? air or water ... aftermarket coolers allowed?

this is my favorite type of benching - budget cards -

[MTP04]

I would like to know too. Is it anything goes as for cooling or is there a limit?

[theclash]

I'll do it, assuming I can use aftermarket cooling. Can I bench my X1600 Pro and my 6800, or am I limited to one card?

[ownage]

I would like to know too. Is it anything goes as for cooling or is there a limit?

Limits on XS? nah, probably not and never will be

[STEvil]

Sign me up.

if we get cards that can monitor core temps maybe use core temperature as the defining factor?

below -25c, -25c to 0c, 0 to 25c, 25c-50c, and 50c+ ?

[G.Foyle]

I'm in! GeForce 6200 TurboCache™ meets dice

[Achill3uS]

can play pci cards? my favourite is the old ati 7000 64mb

this is an old result, without tweaks (doesn't think it's matter )

btw, good topic, i like it, can't wait to see some vmodded and ln2 cooled low profile cards

[Morais]

Im in too with my 6200 256MB AGP
Is this cpu limited or something?

[Deux]

I'd play

[[XC] gomeler]

I'll play! I've got an 8400GS sitting here, $30 from Fry's baby! I've been eyeballing the card trying to figure out how I'm going to mount the PCB to my cascade, poor thing is so tiny. If I can use the 8400GS I'm down, otherwise I'll pick up the cheapest piece of garbage that will run 3DMark and see how she likes it when daddy's rough with the volts

note: I'd say let's have three classes? Stock cooling, aftermarket, sub-zero. Everyone could submit a stock-cooling result and then play around in your respective secondary cooling class? Prize can be the glory of benching 3DMark for hours on end with a card that costs 3% of your CPU's cost

double note: sticky! give it flashing lights and big bold font and create a banner ad on XS advertising this wonderful event. No reason not to have dozens upon dozens of people playing around.

[BenchZowner]

"Looking in his closet for a Tseng Labs ET2000"...found it!
Now where's that liquid nitrogen dewar...oh here it is!
Now..let's bench 3D Mark Vantage
...oh wait...where's the ISA port on this mobo ?

I'm in...at least hope so ( need to "generate" more free time )

[STEvil]

maybe if we put in a word to asus they will send us x3400's to torture as a promo thing?

[DShankar]

Although I paid $100 at the time, it's probably worth 2 cents now - can I use my old ATI Radeon 9250 128MB (AGP)? I'm in..the problem is finding a suitable AGP board . It's been what, 6 years since PCIe came out? Ah the time flies.

[massman]

Cheap ass Ati benching? I'm in, last card I benched was the RD9200 and that was just quick testing on passive cooling

[Jaivan]

Sign me up.
Just need to look for a cheap video card now lol.

[Fr3ak]

Count me in! 50€ is something I should be able to affort next month

[T_M]

Im down for some card smashing.
But we should all be using the same card, and current gen that we can all find readily available on store shelves.

[oohms]

Im in for sure.. limiting it to one model (eg 8400GS) sounds like a good idea

[N3RO]

I'm in!

[GOESA]

I'm if the cards are 8400gs or 2400pro

[Achill3uS]

yep, you're right Tim
ATI 2400 / NV 8400 series seems to be good for the challenge my opinion...
btw, i'm in too of course
