My computer is trash now. I can't log in so I can't play any games at all. It's about 5 years old. It has a out dated AMD athlon x2 7550 processor.. It only has 3g of ram and a 320g hard drive. And it still has Windows Vista! I can't do anything on it. I cant even play minecraft.

Please link your video within this thread and use #ROGRigReboot in your entry post so we can filter through the applications easier.  

 

Applications for video entries will close on  August 21st - later that week we'll be picking three winners who will be direct messaged here through the forum! From there we'll coordinate flights and accommodations which we're hoping to do on September 7th here in Surrey, BC, Canada.

 Here is my video, I am using a 13-inch MacBook pro mid-2014 which was given to me from my brother when he decided to get a new laptop for college, it is a horrid experience to play games on and I hope that you will consider me for the new pc. The specs are a core i5 2.6ghz, Intel iris 1536 graphics, 8gb of 1600mhz ddr3 ram, 120gb of flash storage (I can't install most of my games because of the small storage,) and it has a screen with a resolution of 2560 by 1600 which I can't play games at because of the intel gpu. I usually play games at 1280 by 800 to get better performance and I play them on low settings to try and get close to 60fps. The hinge is actually broken so it falls back a lot and does not stay up. The games i can't play are Doom, Witcher 3, Sniper Elite 4, Payday 2, Metro 2033, and Metro Last Light. Please consider me for the new PC. Sincerely Steven. PS if anyone is interested in a Civ 5 game sometimes leave a comment on the youtube video. #ROGRigReboot

I’m not able to make a video, so I’ll type it for you. My PC is a Dell Inspiron Small Desktop with an Intel Pentium J3710 with a 1.6 ghz clock, 4gb of ddr3 ram, and no GPU. It can run Minecraft at 720p at the lowest settings at about 30 FPS. It can also run CSGO at the lowest resolution and settings at about 15 FPS. And it can’t run anything else. I use a dynex 27” tv with a 60 hz refresh rate. For my keyboard and mouse I have the stock Dell keyboard and mouse combo.

My computer is so outdated that it doesn't have a web cam for it. It's an AMD (fx) 4300 motherboard with 8Gb slow ram and a 500Gb storage drive  getting less than 30 fps w/119 or more ping and tons of lag. It won't even upload a video at all and haven't figured out why or how to fix it. I can't fly my DCS, Hawx 2, World of Warships, Armored Warfare went dead and I won't go into the rest. My key board is screwed up and playing my games the controls mess up. Can I use a new PC? Please  . If I could buy a Pc right now I would but All my change goes out to the medications I have to have and bills. So this contest means a lot to me in the way of hope. Thx for this chance from you Linus and Republic of Gamers.

my computer is worse

 

[AzKiller0960]

As you can see, my computer ( which dates from around 2012 or 2013 ) is not getting any good scores on benchmarks, and games. I would greatly love to win such an amazing giveaway, as it would definitely help me pursue my "dream" of being able to start making actual content on Youtube. I hope you do accept me, have a nice day. ( I am from North America, I live in Canada ( to be more precise ) )

This was done on 3DMark, first benchmark was on Fire Strike and second one was on Sky Diver.

Spec – Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 @ 2.00 GHz

                3.00 GB RAM

                NVIDIA GEOFORCE 8700M GT (512  MB)

                2X 160GB HDD -5400 RPM

WINDOWS 7 32 Bit

               

Games That I Can Run?

                League of Legends @ Sub 30fps

                Brawlhalla

                100% Orange Juice

Games that I can’t run?

                The games in my personal collection that I can’t run follows:

                                Borderlands 2

                                Counter-Strinke: Global Offense (Can only play on two maps without crashing)

                                DmC Devil May Cry

                                Insurgency

                                PAYDAY 2

                                Resident Evil HD Remasyer

                                Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster

                                Resident Evil 6

                                Shadow Warrior

                                Tabletop Simulator

Well I’m a 21 year old cyber security student coming from a retired low income family. My former Toshiba laptop had a defective AC power port and eventually caught fire and melted the internals of it’s hardware. Too remedy not having a computer to use for school my brother-in-law, gave me his old laptop.

If we are talking in terms of age this computer has been in use for 12, so naturally when I try to game it’s age shows and because of it’s performance my friends call it “the potato” (in reference to the League of Legends client’s new feature Potato Mode to help lower end hardware run the game). I’ve been trying to play on this system as long as I can but now it’s getting to a point where I can’t run anything. The old 32 bit architecture and dated hardware just makes it impossible.

Above is my donated pc. I got it from my uncle a while ago and have been using it as inspiration, as I know this single core processor could never run anything. It came without ram, without a CPU cooler, and without any promise of actually working. Honestly, I'm not sure if I should be the one to win, as I've seen some pretty bad PCs posted on this thread. I have a pc at all, which is more than some can say. I'd be content with not winning a PC, as you guys would ensure one went to the right home. Anyway, this is my entry into the contest. Good luck everyone

 

-Update 3 hours later. I saw someone post my video. I'm updating with a picture from my YouTube uploads to verify it was me

I would just like to say before anyone starts criticizing that I only had a few hours to shoot and edit this video. I was blessed with the added bonus of my computer only being able to run movie maker as well yaaa.

 

Anyways if anyone reads this or watches the video I hope you were able to enjoy all of my cringe moments along with me <3

 

And if anyone from LMG reads this I hoped you enjoyed it the video

 

Sixty seconds flew by and I didn't really get a chance to include everything I wanted however I went for a more creative style rather than just listing specs. I hope that is okay but I'll leave my system specs down here in the comments and hopefully thats okay!

AMD E2 at 2.4GHz

4GB of RAM

AMD Radeon HD6370D Graphics  (Yaa built in graphics my favourite)

500Gb HDD

So I just make my video and summit it here ???
