Fine. and Yes i noticed recent Contest, well it was my first experience that's why not a perfect execution.

i noted your suggestion will try to fill prize section before contest actually starts. Thanks for your kind opinion.

Any other suggestions regarding Contest Nature like overclocking, Benching, whatsoever coming in your mind, i have few ideas but i wanted to know community's will.

Still, was a great execution. Did a good job. (y)

Following are some ideas that I think could work for upcoming competitions:

  1. Overclocking competition. Have separate section for CPU and GPU. Set targets. Those who reach them move to the next round etc.
  2. Rig showoff. People can clean up their setup and show it off. Cable management, cooling hardware, modding etc. And maybe use public voting to decide a winner.
  3. Lower end PC benchmark competition. As you know, most people don't have expensive high end rigs. So I think it could be great if there is a competition where lower end rigs are tested. And I believe many people will join it. Have two or three top positions with prizes. Set a criteria for highest maximum specs allowed so people below it can enter.

Was just going to post that I received the cash in the main thread but I see that has already been taken care of.

Thanks to @Jshak for sponsoring the second place price, and for sending it to me. :D
And thanks to @nafu for organizing the event.

keep it in classes

1) cpu benches
2) gpu benches
3) combine benches
4) keep the penalty so that it balances out if the classes are in the same bracket and doest handicap the other .
5) also we need more people because we are about 6 people competing and it would be more fun if there were more people


just my two cents . and yes keep it after January . I'm in a bit of a mess during this month .

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

  • L LegacyGamerGuy:
    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!
