Title: A hardware survey!
Post by: Calin Leafshade on Tue 03/08/2010 15:46:49
I'm doing alot of fairly intense graphical stuff at the moment and I want to know what kind of hardware people are playing their games on.

So i did a survey!

If i've missed any hardware off or anyone is having any difficulty with the questions let me know

In future Calin, please don't be intrusive.

I'll do your survey if you promise me that.


Edit: I did your suspiciously probing survey. And I didn't enjoy it.
By the way, you missed my processor off (I have an ), and yes I've just realised my information is of no used to you because of that.
Sorry about that :-\. If it's any consolation my other Windows PC which I never speak of has similar specs, and I use that to play AGS games.

What did i do wrong..

I apologise if you think its intrusive.. I only want to get an idea of how intense i can make the graphics.

Tongue in cheek ;)

Of course I'm happy to do your survey!

I don't know why your survey would ask for my penis size, but I trust your judgment and put it in anyway.

for comparison purposes.

Any variation in penis size between the two?

And that, kids, is how you get sexually transmitted diseases.

Hey Calin, you forgot my Centrino-processor. So I can´t take part.  :-[  :'(
Title: Re: A hardware survey!
Post by: GarageGothic on Tue 03/08/2010 20:55:53
Centrino isn't really a processor but a chipset/CPU/WiFi standard used by Intel. E.g. I also have a Centrino laptop but my CPU is a Core 2 Duo. What the survey *does* miss, however, is somewhere for be to boast that my computer has an old-school turbo button that overclocks the CPU from 2.4 to 2.7GHz! :)

Edit: Though yes, an option specify whether it's a mobile version of the CPU would probably be a good idea.

I did it, but it would be nice if we could see the results as well :D

Your wish is my command:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Avq7Q-7eDv32dHd3bGs5M2JlXzRRZzV6Yy1iMXVVcnc&hl=en_GB&authkey=CPHVrroO

Highlights:

More than 50% of respondants have CPUs in the Core x Duo range.

Nvidia Graphics chipsets outnumber ATI 2:1

Dualnames has 2000000Mb of ram or he can't read instructions. The results are inconclusive as to which.

The average amount of system ram = 2812Mb (not counting obvious mistakes)

The average amount of video ram = 620Mb

I've filled in the survey. I see AGS scores pretty good overall. Bring in those graphic effects!  :)

Because I'm a doof, my clock speed should have been 2.4 not 1.4. Only realised this after I had submitted.

Hah! It seems that my system is not the most outdated after all... It seems to be like that to me anyway.

Hey! You wrote Mb in the table, so he only has 250000 MB of RAM. Maybe all of us other than him did it wrongly!
Spoiler
Sorry. Bad old game console joke.

You didn't have my lame Pentium D, so I went for Pentium 4, which is near enough I suppose!

Why did your survey have the MB count for a gig at 1000 when it should be 1024, shouldn't it? That would definitely throw off your 'average' size for memory.
Title: Re: A hardware survey!
Post by: Calin Leafshade on Tue 10/08/2010 15:11:49
indeed it would.

Just increase my averages by 2.4% and it's all fixed.

Why did the survey ask for my social? Whatever. I put it in just to be sure.

You guys are all lucky with all these social insurance number questions and how big is your penis..  I was stuck with stupid questions like:
Q: "What do you think of my golden flowing hair?"
A: It's amazing.
B: It's fabulous.
C: I'm super jealous.

OR
Q: "If you could do the sex with one AGS member, who would it be?"
A: The guy who made McCarthy chronicles.
B: That Leafshade guy.
C: The guy who chooses the pick of the month games.
D: All of the above.

Talk about tough questions.

100% of respondents chose D.
