The "Rate My Rig" Game

Post » Thu Dec 30, 2010 3:49 pm

So I had this cool idea for a game where everyone gets to show off their rig. Rules are simple and go as follows:

1. List your system specs. If you really want to show off, take a picture of your rig and post it.
2. Quote the last person's rig specs and rate them. 1-10. 1 being the worst and 10 being the best.
3. The next person to post will tell their rig specs and rate yours.
4. This should be both interesting and fun. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep this civil! If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it.

I'll start it off:

My Rig:

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Quad Core @ 2.6GHz
XFX Radeon HD 6850 Black Edition OC'ed To 875MHz Core Clock And 1230MHz Memory Clock
6.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 800MHz
2 SATA Drives: 640GB; 160GB
Cooler Master GX 750W PSU

A highly detailed and labeled picture of my rig:

Given what you have, a 4.6 at best. You really need to buy a whole new computer if you want to game seriously on a PC.

@Tman5293 I think your system is OK but as suggestion I recommend you to upgrade your processor for something higher than 3.2 Ghz (Quad Core) at least. My rate 7.5/10 ;)

Right now I don't see a need for any upgrades. Crysis 2 is the most demanding game I own and I run it on Extreme smooth as silk. I just put 300$ into that graphics card and power supply so I'm a little out of cash right now.

Anyways, this thread isn't about my rig. It's supposed to be about everyone's rigs. So let the game continue!

Of course that's because my setup is...

Yeah so... I'll Spare you the horror of this monstrosity by providing pictures.

(Surprisingly enough I can run Crysis 2 at 60 f.p.s. at the high setting. Go Figure :P)

Game seriously on a PC ? This confuses me. I need a phenom X6 and a HD 6990 to enjoy a game?

Seriously as in, a good frame rate where your not getting lag or low frame rates, playing a game while your getting low frame rate is not cool, and I would know.
I would expect a CPU bottleneck possibly on this processor although I'm not that familiar AMD processors as of late; wouldn't waste a cent on them with Intel providing superior quality products.
Maybe I did exaggerated a bit, but seriously, he should buy a new case, heat sink, and CPU to get a at least a 6.

Nice clean cable management and airflow. Is this is perhaps a cooler master case by any chance?

I really don't see your point. I never once mentioned that I had lag or bad frame rates. I did, however, say that I can Crysis 2 on Extreme as well as all my other games (Battlefield Bad Company 2, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, Dead Space 2, COD Black Ops, etc...) with their settings maxed out and still get frame rates no lower than 45 FPS. Why would I waste money to fix something that isn't broken?

@lelouchvib
Yup. HAF 912 (Standard)

I wanted a midtower so I chose this case because of the space, airflow, and cable management.
That red fan is actually sitting on a 3 into 4 device (5.25 into 3.5 for hard drives) so I can push more air.
I'm currently at a slight positive pressure.

More of a matter of perspective really.
When I say seriously, I also mean having a system that "totally rocks your socks," should I say?
It's okay to have a mid range system and play, but I always viewed taking PC gaming seriously as in building an awesome system and setup. Always felt that "serious" PC gamers should put effort into their custom rigs.
I'm not sure if you will understand me or not, it's not that I meant you don't take games themselves seriously.
Of course, in these hard times spending money is difficult can't forget that though. Do you consider yourself a serious gamer or a casual one? A serious gamer will generally build a well manage system with clean cable management and all that.

benchmarks against 980x show equal and in many cases outperforms the 980x with the exception of Cinebench. Sandy Bridge crushes any AMD processor currently available and walks on amd 6 core cpus in every single application, from gaming to benching, and will most likely trump amd bulldozer but we'll see.

10/10

Fantastic cable management, my friend. I'd only add a second 460 and I'm questioning the reason for the 965 over the cheaper 955 which is essentially the same.

As for my system:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz @ 3.0GHz
HSF: ULTRA ChillTEC
GPU: ATI Sapphire HD5870
RAM: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 6GB
Mobo: XFX 750i
PSU: Corsair 1000HX 1000w 80Plus Silver PSU
Case: Antec P182
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW
Keyboard: Logitech DiNovo
Mouse: Logitech Lachesis
Receiver: Technics SA-DX1050
Speakers: Bose 301 Series IV
Sub Woofer: KLH E-12DB

I don't have a camera [just my phone] nor do I have a 'guts' shot. So here's my setup.
