Those two people have a VERY good reputation here in finland, one of them runs finland's biggest hardware site (http://www.muropaketti.com). IMO it is not fake.

I don't see what is so impossible, 20.000+ 3DMark results have been obtained before with the R9700, I think by some crafty Japanese guys....

All you have todo is grab your measuing tape and be prepared when applying LN2

"LN2 cooling" pretty much says it all.
I'm kinda suprised they didn't just dunk all the boards in liquid nitrogen. Assuming they could get it to run like that they'd probably get higher scores since thier setup doesn't freeze the memory & system bus.
I recall seeing an article on [H] about doing this, though they did have some problems with it.
I'd think the temperature differences and ice forming on the boards would have fried the system.
OTOH, perhaps it can survive like that long enough to finish a 3DMark run.

so what is the higest score for a computer that you can actually use in everyday life?

judging by the icons on that desktop, and that extreme cooling system, i kinda doubt that computer can be used for anything BUT 3dmark.

I know that 3dmark is a sport for some people, but what is the point in having a computer that can get 20000+ 3dmark, when it can´t play a single game?

optimizing/tweaking a computer for a single application is probably not that hard, optimizing/tweaking a computer for general computer use, is WAY more handy.

the fact that he only has 256mb ram and is running winxp, makes me think that it isn´t a computer with good overall perfomance.

Big deal with a few tweaks in the bios ect someone acheived over 26000 marks with their Radeon 9700, in fact they posted a guide. I'm going to look for it tonight and I'll post it

[thop]

well like you say TDB, it's a sport nothing more (and nothing less).

[Marshmallowman]

Its kind of like drag racing of the computer world.
Not really a practical pursuit but its fun for some people.

PS LN2 makes jaffas nice 'n' crunchy

@R.Carter: that looks exactly like my Rig.

P4 1.8A, P4T533-C, G550...

and funniest thing: i am also getting 1393 of 3d mark
