For all you extreme PC enthusiasts and out there, this bit of news is for you.
“K|ngp|n” and “Fugger” two hardware enthusiasts sporting EVGA’s hardware, have been able to break the 30,000 world record score on 3DMark06. With a little liquid nitrogen, these two individuals were able to clock in an impressive 30,138 score.
The combination of an EVGA 780 SLi and a pair of EVGA 8800 ultras were the weapons of choice in breaking through the barrier. While the computer set-up itself doesn’t look too pretty, it certainly gets the job done.
Reading this makes me wonder what kind of score my PC would earn; of course I could only hope for pitiful tally, but I may as well try it out.
So while I sit here praying to the gods of PC hardware, let’s all hope that this type of set up isn’t needed anytime soon to enjoy the less than extensive library of titles to hit the PC in the near future. However, if Crysis is any indication, my wallet will be crying.

The 2007/2008 winter must be the season of giving. First EA Games hooks us up with a free game due to the Rock Band guitar issue. Then Microsoft promises us a free XBLA game due to the Live downtime. Now NVIDIA has teamed up with Valve software to give us an extended Portal demo.
