In relation to the new 3DMark Vantage benchmark, all ATI owners that experience some problems with the benchmark, or just want to try some new drivers for their cards can now try 3DMark Vantage Catalyst hotfix driver for Windows Vista 32/64-bit. The 3DMark Vantage Catalyst hotfix (737-33840) includes bug fixes and performance enhancements for all Radeon HD 2400/2600/2900/3400/3600/3850 and 3870 cards.

Was thinking performance was too low across the board for ATI...
 
This hotfix is reported to bump the score by quite much. I just saw a forum member (not out forum) to report that his score changed from 3424 to 6570 just by installing the hotfix?
 
Its totally laughable how they fixed it so fast but it works :rolleyes:

yeah i know.


i still can't get my scores to open :banghead::banghead: tells me there was error during the process. but it ran everthing fine. but it gives me this error:


yep that was it. NOTHING
 
Do people still even care about 3dmarks? Are you guys willing to pay money for this?
 
Mine totally crashed when it attempted to give me a score. I will try these sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.
 
The question really should be, how many people secretly are just torrenting this software anyways.
 
I predict a 400% increase in torrents of cracked Vista and 80% of Vantage users operating on pirated version of the benchmark.
 
idk, i doubt it. you have to access the internet, so MIGHT be doing a key check everytime you check your results.

Might not even be able to submit results AT ALL! ;)
 
i just got the trial version and it ran fine,it submitted my result too.I will post it for you to look at.It seems pretty hard to run,my frame rates were looow.

It won't work for me. RIght when the first test starts, the water like slowly rises and rises till it like it hits the sealing and its this giant wall of water for all the water.:mad:
