    Bobby, if you bring a gaming video card, I have an entire rig you can use.

    If he can't bring one, I can supply an Nvidia 8600GT. It's not great, but it will at least allow you to play.

    The system I have is a Phenom II 810 (quad), 4gb DDR3. It's got the 890 chipset, so I think the onboard radeon 4290 is probably almost on par with that 8600GT. If it gets a discreet GPU it will be a screamer for games.

    For anyone else, you also have Ryan Meray graciously offering a system or 2: http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89870

    I will ask that you let him know soon though, don't ask the day of Epic :D

    I also offered a laptop or two: http://icrontic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89728

    Maybe you could pop out one of those HD 5800 series cards that AMD is so generously supplying a little early ;)

    Doesn't Bobby use video cards as coasters, plates and candle holders? Surely he can drag one of them along.

    I'll bring my 8800GTX Prime, that would be fantastic if I could game on that rig.

    I do have a few extra GPUs, but they're all workstation. They don't game worth a darn. Seriously, an 8800GT will pull greater FPS in games than one of these workstation boards.

    So are we going to run a SH tourny this year? Also, if not can we organize additional tournies like last year because I really want to get some SH going and work on a L4D randomized tourny.

    For those who keep mentioning it feels smaller this year: We're officially +1 attendance from last year. Expo is as big as ever.

    Yes, anyone can start a tournament as long as you have a sufficient amount of people to particepate, plan out the structure, and get a staff person to approve it and distribute tickets for prizes.

    now only if Futuremark would sponsor me doing this in some way.

    What do you need from Futuremark?
  • _k_k P-Town, Texas Icrontian
    edited June 2010
    Some Vantage keys would be cool. A key for DX11 3DMark would be insane. There is always SH keys, don't know if there are still spares floating around. I assume it is to late to get t-shirts and stickers.

    But I don't need anything I would like a few things to add to the drawings or just something to give to a random person in the tournament, though it is not our way.

    I would think she was talking about something else.";D
