A hardware survey!

Calin Leafshade · 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.

huh?

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!

ha ha oh

I was thinking of asking for you mothers maiden name but it didnt seem relevant.

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

Calin Leafshade · Tue 03/08/2010 18:16:25

for comparison purposes.

I gave you a whole 2 entries, desktop and laptop. You're welcome.

Any variation in penis size between the two?

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

I may have impregnated the survey [with data]. *ba-dum ching*

LGM · Tue 03/08/2010 20:30:09

OHHHHH SNAP! (I filled this out too)

DrWhite · Tue 03/08/2010 20:51:14

Hey Calin, you forgot my Centrino-processor. So I canÂ´t take part.

:'(

GarageGothic · 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.

LimpingFish · Tue 03/08/2010 22:08:15

Done.

Not sure if you still need this, but i've done your survey. Not that my crappy specs will be any use to you=P

Phemar · Tue 10/08/2010 05:59:03

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

Agreed

Your wish is my command:

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

Buckethead · Tue 10/08/2010 08:25:42

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.
