Where Does Your System Stand?

Saw over at the LOMAC forum that Microsoft has added LOMAC to the Game Advisor list. It will test your system against the theoretical minimum and recommended benchmarks and tell you where your system rates. Here's the link:

615% on the Wifes PC,

 

2ghz amd

512 ddr

geforce 4 ti 4200 128mg

 

774% on mine.

2ghz amd

1 gig ddr

ati radeon 9800 Pro 128

 

I think their recomendations are so far offthe mark its not even funny.

 

I think my PC is the bare minimums.

 

No doubt about it LOMAC is going to require a 3 GHZ pc 1 Gig of Fast memory and Kick ass card likethe Ati Radeon 9800 Pro.

Yeah this thing is based on the specs on the box, not what is actually required.

 

742% on mine.

 

Same rig as MrMudd

 

Athlon2400 (2Ghz)

1gb DDR PC333

Radeon 9700 Pro

SB Audigy

Heh, here's the school computer I'm on...

 

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1386MHz

Graphics Card: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2/Pro

Memory: 128 MB

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000

 

73%. I'll test mine when I get home, I dont' think it'll bee too much better, what with my 16 MB Vanta.

 

Oh, and that same computer got 672% for FS2004 ;) I don't think so!

Is it me or have my obserations been a bit skewed? It seems to like ATI products almost profusely. Only giving double digit ratings for most non-ATI vid cards isn't exactly what I would call an honest assesment. A little concerning, if you ask me. I know everyone wants to pimp their own product, but FAIR analysis is what I think most consumers want. Okay, you can say something or another is recomended, but to blast others because they are different......that's just not right. Maybe it's me.

1043% for mine. (for Lo-Mac)

 

3.2Ghz P4 (800FSB)

1 Gig of Corsair DDR (400Mgz)

Win 2k Pro (SP4)

 

BTW, I hate those Microsoft machine analyzing routines! (I`ll leave it at that!)

Uh Oh, only 393 here.

 

But I'm planning on a new vid card, and another 512 of ram.

 

This game's gonna be sooooooooo worth it.

 

Edit: s**t! Mudd are you serious about the 3ghz???

Mines not too bad...

[PG_Raptor 0]

Woohoo, only 67% on the home computer!!! I wonder how much it'd jump if I got me a 9500 Pro...

[snapple2993 0]

Soooo, because I have and Nvidia card, they may have shorted me some points?

So would 3D Mark with Nvidia banners all over it be fair analysis as well??lol

ATI has the hot card right now so it makes sense that you would see ATI banners,etc all over the place.

As far as the scores being lower for Nvidia cards? well the radeon cards are just better than what Nvidia has. I was a Nvidia user for years up until getting this radeon card and I could tell a huge difference after making the switch.

I have 443%

 

I agree with Mudd. Their setting are WAY off. It is basing everything off of the minimum UBI set.

 

I got a 443% with a GF3 card. 443% at the minimum settings in game maybe.

 

Oh, and run Adaware after you do this as I got some nice spyware from it.
