Post your 3dmark Vantage Scores

When is that ATi physx patch coming out

not sure really, i'm still half waiting for real official 8800gts 512 drives, i'm using the 177.66 beta's but they're still issues that need to be worked out.

Does overall IQ seem improved to you w/ the .66s? I just got them a couple days ago and I swear things look sharper and more colorful. Could be my imagination. Vantage is a lot smoother w/ these too for me, not as much stuttering in that first test.

i got the same feeling, i think sli performance with physx enable was improved a bit, it hurt WoW a lot, i used to be able to force afr2 and get pretty decent performance but i'm having WoW issues now which is my primary game that's played, but you are right, colors look good. I've got digital vibrance at 50 percent so i always like colors in games but they iq seems a bit improved and things are smoother. I've heard reports of severe pixelation in some games though. Like back when nvida was cheating in crysis type issues, but i'm happy with them so far.

Finally! I am able to OC and have my fan blowing hard on my 4870! Water setup should be here in an hour, hopefully I have some new scores very soon! Thanks for starting this thread Candle!

If you love benchmarking scores, might as well get yourself a physX card to keep up for now.

Well, I guess since everyone is posting in here... here you go.. I posted that on the other vantage thread.. but it never got updated... lol

Update my score please

Slightly higher

Gonna try 900 GPU soon, wish me luck

EDIT: Couldn't do 900, was getting artifacts everywhere and it crashed.

 

[exodusprime1337]

got mine up a few points

Nice score exodus, but one thing that confuses me with vantage is the CPU scores. On CPU test 2 you get 106 steps/second (whatever that is) and I only get 8, which means you get a CPU score of 25K and I get 6K

That's physX cuda, the gpu does the work instead of the cpu.

 

[exodusprime1337]

correct farlex, i am using the g92 cards with the 177.66 beta's which means i get physx support in some apps, especially 3dmark vantage, so with the cpu and my 2 gpu's doing the work i'm cranking out more work in the physx test then someone without a cuda enabled card.

Which is why it should be called "Nvidia Presents 3dMark Vantage!" Right now if you are using an ATi card and want to compete you need some double top-secret drivers or a PhysX card.

That makes me sad
When I got my new mobo with the onboard 8200 I was going to run my 9600GTs in SLi and have the onboard do the cuda for me, but apparently there's something wrong with my cards because they won't do SLi anymore.

wolf i need CPUz

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

You get get it at the downloads section of TPU

Nice oli, I'm gonna try to beat that, but I don't know, I think I may have hit my absolute limit. I wish I could softmod this card.........

 

[oli_ramsay]

everyone updated

mine isn't

1 card

Should this thread be in General Soft where we have the 06 thread?

 

[candle_86]

added

 

[DaMulta]

it sucks that cpu speed does not effect the scores like in 3dmark06.....

 

[candle_86]

i beg to differ look at my crossfire scores

 

[DaMulta]

I can't tell your not listing the GPU/memory speed

 

[DaMulta]

in 06 I would of smoked this card by CPU speed alone.
farlex85 - P8351 Geforce 8800GTS 512 E6750 @ 3.92ghz

The test is saying that a GTS running on a DUAL CORE is better than a GTX(what ever the clock)than a QX9650 at 4.5Ghz.......I beg to differ

I actually think it's better this way, as after all 3dmark is primarily a graphics bench. In most games and gpu intensive tasks, my score (or performance) actually would be better, my gts is oc'd much more than your gtx. My graphics score was a few hundred points higher. Cpu score was too heavily pushed in 06, b/c like I said, it is a graphics bench, meant to somewhat reflect gaming experience. Most games don't use multiple cores, and most don't care what speed your cpu speed is above a certain point. Now, superpi or sciencemark or something like that, the cpu speed is much more relavant and as such your set-up would very obviously destroy mine.

It's true though in 06 it would have smoked mine, my dualie can't hang w/ any quads in 06. Here the graphics is of primary importance.
