I can't recall where, but apparently someone managed to break 20k -- probably on the lowest settings with overclocked-everything, but still impressive.

Maybe their 20,000 score will give them a 10% boost to their stats and cause the monster to randomly flee in terror ...

Because the monster is afraid of their giant e-peen.

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but someone has a sig with a 99,999 score.

8396 on maximum.

New PC gets 10,000 on maximum, which is a little disappointing. I have a 770 4GB vs 670 2GB, and a quad-core 4.4Ghz CPU vs 3.2Ghz CPU.

What RAM are you running though? "4 GB" is extremely generic - speed/maker? Corsair Vengeance 1666+ or gtfo.

VRAM.

That's the RAM on his video card.

Yeah I just realized that.

What's his system RAM though? And from what I've read, the RAM on the GPU is actually less important than the # of cores/bus bandwidth etc.

As long as its color matches the motherboard, it doesn't make a difference to me what brand it is.

Gonna have to disagree - brands matter, big time.

SSDs - Samsung
nVidia - EVGA
Radeon - Sapphire
RAM - Corsair (Vengeance specifically but Corsair in general is amazing) or Kingston

The only brand that's worth caring about is Logitech, and as TM has pointed out in the past not even that's not a sure thing.

The only thing you really ought to concern yourself with is whether the product is shitty or good, not which sticker is on the side of it.

Re: FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Official Benchmark - Exploration Now Available!

That's BS and you know it.

Certain brands are rated top in their category for good reason - like Samsung. Intel's got a good rep for SSDs too, but like everything else they make it's grossly over-priced while Samsung's Pro series are cheaper, offer more storage and perform better across the board. Same goes with anything else.

The underlying principal is accurate - whether the product is good or not - but you can't deny that some brands really are just consistently better.

So even if the product isn't good, it's better because it's a certain brand? Wtf, man.

It doesn't matter now, because every electronic component is manufactured in China, and if one was to follow the money trail, it will most likely end up at one of a very few handful of megaconglomerates. In other words, you pick the product that has been thoroughly reviewed and scored on merits and not showered with shills.
