It sorta makes a person think why make the effort at all, I will continue to post my scores and do what I can with what I have. I know that someone with a Topend system will get higher scores then me, but it seems to me that the lower classes don`t get noticed at all and as vertices said in another thread anything below 20K don`t matter any more. I just had to let off some steam. As I said I will continue to post my scores even though its seems they don`t mean anything.
Well, I was in your boat a while ago (best I could do was 16,xxx, which wasn't noticed at all either), until I got my 9800 Pro (mind you, it was a free upgrade - I'm not loaded like some of the top 3dmarkers :)). If I recall correctly, I was like #40 or so in the list. The fun was in doing the best you can with your hardware, trying to beat the person above you. And the fact is, the reason you would get lots of attention for 17k with your rig is because would be quite an accomplishment. If you notice, nobody has been able to beat vertices' score for months, even with the same systems (some even better).
