What will increase my Benchmarks?????

As a couple have stated adding an Nvidia card for Physx is by far the easyest way to boost a vantage score, pop one in an emtpy slot, install drivers, run the hack and your done.

I use it as per my specs and its rock solid, and works great for all physx titles too.

Only thing I see is you need to install Windows 7 I'm pretty sure, and that in itself is a great step up from Vista.

Well I completly agree with you on the fact of adding a Nvidia Physx Card will increase my card. I also plan as soon as Christmas is done to resume my upgrading...... Next on the list is a i7/i9 Motherboard and RAM, SSD and Raptor, Another 5870. All in this order.

I do have a copy of Windows 7 laying around. I just haven't got a chance too install it yet. My question for you is..... are you claiming that Windows 7 will increase your Benchmark Score? I might believe that because of less running programs in the background. But I didn't think it would make that much of a difference?


Oh Yeah and by the way I forgot to mention my new top Vantage score Tell me what you think ! My new stable and permanent Overclock is Q9550@ 3.8 and 5870 900/1300 Congrats to Me!!! Even though on my last post I am capable of 4.0 GHZ or higher I am just Held back by my RAM!

Well honestly I can vouch for it giving a specific point increase, however there are comparisons over the net and I would not be surprised to see than 7 beats Vista game performance by 1-5% odd, more what I mean is the operating systems are night and day, 7 is leaps and bounds ahead of Vista IMO, I love aero and all of its new features, the whole package is just so smooth and free flowing, and practically never messes me around at all.

it's so hard to explain man just install it, use it for a few weeks and pat yourself on the back.

Hey I thought You were crazy bud.... I just wanted to tell you that I installed my copy of Windows 7 Home and I got an increase of about 700 GPU points and about 200CPU points and my overall score went up as well! That is a big Thanks Bud!
