Alex, I made an account just to say "GO TERPS!" I was in Terps Racing '16 but for Formula. Keep up the good work.

All about that Memorial Baja haha, Formula seems really cool too but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense in Newfoundland where there aren't any race tracks but heaps of bogs and mud pits to thrash

We did get 3D Mark 2001 to work in Windows 10, a system with an i7-7700K plus a 1080 recorded a score of 91002 3D Marks lol

Only 91k ?
I got 47k on a Pentium D 915 : LINK  (Win XP FTW)
And this guy got 116k on GTX 680 and Ivy : LINK

If I have time tonight I will run 3dmark01se on my P3 1Ghz with an ATI 9800 pro Win 98 SE PC I have for retro gaming. Sure my GPU would be "cheating" but my MB does not have on board video.

 

 

Id love to see Linus pop in a PCI GPU into this puppy. I’m pretty sure Geforce 6000 cards had PCI versions still.

 

 

EDIT: Turns out my P3 win98 PC just crashes on the first test in 3dmark 2k1. I think my GPU is going bad (it was getting 80fps at 1024x768 before it crashed). I may try installing XP on another HDD later because turns out win 98 actually kind of sucks butt so it may not be my GPU. I am way to lazy to do that this week though.

 

EDIT 2: I reinstalled ATI drivers and I’m now able to get to the "Nature" part of the benchmark before it crashes. But for the "dragon" bench I got ~ 115 on the low pass and ~ 57 on the High pass. For the "car" one I got ~ 70 on low and ~ 17 on high. I ran it at 1024x768 and 640x480 with the same results both times. I found some old screen shots of people's scores that have P4s @ 2.4ghz and AMD Athalon XPs  @2ghz and they are getting ~200fps on the car bench on low and 60 on high. So my p3 is extremely bottlenecking this 9800pro. haha. I guess good thing I only use this PC to play old games like Rainbow six/Rouge Spear and Mechwarrior 2 & 3. All I know is iv spent way to much time doing this. lol, oh well.

iirc there's a PCI version of the 8400GS

How good can a gaming PC be for $69?

 

Buy a gaming PC for $69 on Amazon: http://geni.us/NozFgcO

Buy CPUs on Newegg: http://geni.us/Xp2BeCR

 

 

best pc ive ever seen

[Alec M]

I got a prebuilt Thinkcentre M57 with a Core 2 Duo e6550 processor, and a Sapphire ATi Radeon HD 3650 512Mb for $20 at the local University resale.

 

It can run quite a few games at low to medium settings.

 

I know the point of this was building a gaming PC from new parts, but you still would be better off getting parts used, or upgrading a prebuilt.

I'd love to see you guys build and test a $200 gaming PC build. Here is an example: $200 Gaming PC Build (Amazon List)

I feel like because we had to do some hacks to get it working in Win10 it wasn't utilising the full potential of the 1080, although I don't know how you could get much of a higher score since it was hitting the limiter at 999fps most of the time haha

[agent_x007]

"Limiter" is limited to 3 digits, program itself can measure over that
Check details of GTX 680 score I linked in my previous post.

Tried to build one in germany for under 100€ but failed, still it's pretty cheap

 

Totally this is € 113,39 (would be less without the hd 5450 but I think it's better with it )

Page is Mindfactory.de (german only)

 

I know I know 16GB is low can't even install windows 7/8/8.1/10 (don't know how big vista is) but at least it's something :D.

For about 13€ more you could get an 320GB hard drive on this page (if you don't buy the USB stick).

 

These are actually the cheapest parts you can buy on this page!

 

 

EDIT: Maybe you want an fire extinguisher next to it

The one you find lying on the road for free

sounds like a mouthful

Need that pic of Nick Light's face on a giant hot air balloon.

Not on the basket, more like the hot air balllon itself. I picture some person waking to a beautiful morning sunrise and then this hot air balloon creeping up the horizon.

You should make a follow up video where you build a pc with the same budget but purchasing used parts. That way you can show the real value of used parts.
