I had the cpl website booked marked and I checked it out today.

In the Tourney Pc sectionthey had this.

"$200,000 Counter-Strike World Championship
Processor - 3.06 GHz Pentium® 4 Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology
Memory - 512MB PC1066 RDRAM
Motherboard - Intel D850MVR
Video Card - Verto? GeForce4 Ti 4600
Sound Card - ADI SoundMax Cadenza
Hard Drive - 30GB ATA100 7200 RPM HDD
DVD-ROM - Toshiba SD-M1612
NIC - On board Intel 10/100
Monitor - 19" CRT
Operating System - Windows XP Professional - SP1 "

?????????????????????

WTF are they running cs on a P4 3.06 Ghz machine for? AND with a GF4Tri4600!

A few years ago my friend had a PIII 700 oc @ 933 with a GF2 64mb pro and it ran cs FLAWLESSLY at 100fps CONSTANT no matter what was on the screen.

Saw that Intel sponsor the cpl so that would explain that. Man thats definate overkill for CS and with the graphics card.

I you probably could run 3 cs games on it simultanously I think. Also I think none of the top players run cs on more then 1024x768 anyway.

Dam man what a waste.

Maybe it's for upcoming versions or something. I heard 1.6 might have widescreen resolutions! :Q!
 
Maybe for running a server???

Who's going to enter a tournament which the grand prize is a pIII that's worth $200?

I highly doubt that. There hasnt been any modifications to the 3D engine since Half-Life was released, I dont think they'd start now.

And thats the minimum system requirments to play in the tourney.

Well, since you mentioned it:

64-Bit CS Server Coming
3/7/2003 15:37 PST | Counter-strike | by redef |
Valve has issued a press release announcing a new 64-Bit version of the CS dedicated server. The (cropped) PR details it:
San Jose, Calif. - March 6, 2003 - Valve, L.L.C., creators of Counter-Strike and Half-Life, today announced immediate availability of a 64-bit version of the Counter-Strike dedicated server using the upcoming AMD OpteronTM processor.
In a straight port of code highly optimized for x86-32, Counter-Strike dedicated server tests with both 32- and 64-bit versions revealed a 30% clock-for-clock gain, and is expected to show further performance gains in future upgrades.

"Valve Counter-Strike servers with 64-bit computing can offer customers a better overall gaming experience, and AMD processors will enable this performance boost," said Barry Crume, director of server segment product marketing, Computational Products Group, AMD. "With 64-bit dedicated servers using AMD Opteron processors, Valve will offer online gamers increased reliability, improved stability and greater throughput."

But as far as the general gaming rigs go - Overkill for CS? Sure it is. Overkill for just about anything ATM. But that's not the point. It's ALL MARKETING. How many players are going to drool over the gaming rigs and then be disappointed going back to their old faithful? Advertising near its best.

If you were Intel/whoever, would you advertise with what gets the job done, or what kicks the job in the ass and and says bring it on!? Gamer's don't want to buy your gear if they don't have the impression that it's going to change or greatly enhance the way they game.

There's also the manufacturer's logistics issue of supplying large numbers of consistent computer configurations. Much more would actually be spent gathering that much equipment from various resources if they were supplying rigs that were good enough for CS but not much more.

 
I you probably could run 3 cs games on it simultanously I think. Also I think none of the top players run cs on more then 1024x768 anyway

ya 90percent of the true gamers run at 800x600 or less.

And in those 90 percent, 70 run it in 640x480. 🙂

if you are going to do something. you might as well do it right

PIV 3.06 and TI 4600 = right
Click to expand...

Nah a PIII 900 and GT2 64mb can do it right.

If you get 100fps constant then whats going to be the difference? Maybe half a second faster or so in loading the game?
