| Solid-Stark said: I was once told that one is not simply part of the master race just because one games on pc. There is an on going civil war among the master race over whom exactly is worthy of the master race, if that makes sense. There are many political groups, but the absolute elitists claim you are part of the master race only if you game on a high end card; of course it gets further complicated as the posts can be moved to accommodate only those with the very best card in class, and further, sli/crossfire set ups. |
This is partially accurate, but I'll refine it for you... 
The PC master race is broken into tiers, and the tiers are based on the benchmark results using popular/standard benchmarks like 3DMark/Furmark/Heaven, etc WITH COMPONENTS OVERCLOCKED TO THEIR ABSOLUTE STABLE MAX CLOCKS. If it's not stable under stress testing, you're out! Basically, it's a mix of components (like you said), and how far you can push them within your consumer tier of components (midrange, high-end, enthusiast, etc.)...

Ya know, it's more fun than it sounds, lmao
