Post your 3Dmark Vantage Benchmarks here

Okay so 3DMark Vantage is the latest benchmark for Windows Vista and DirectX 10. It seems you also need Vista Service pack 1 installed before the benchmark will run.

The new key feature of Vantage (the Advanced and Professional versions) is the option to choose 4 different rendering options. These are Entry, Performance, High and Extreme. So anything from mainstream to high performance machines are fair game. Each preset will produce an official score for that option.

I ran my benchmark on Performance. Graphics card is an 8800 GTS, CPU - Core 2 Duo E6550 running on 64 bit with 4 Gigs of RAM. Everything at stock.

Let us know what you scored.

    Video card upgrade to ATI 4850 overclocked to 650 core 1035 memory. CPU OC'd to 3Ghz. CPU seems to be a limiting factor. I should be getting better scores with that card.

    I'm going to post my benchmark in a moment, but is it me or is the Vista Base index, absolutly NO GOOD!

    My Last pc was 7 years old, I ran an *ahem* lite version on it b4 I bought my new one, it game me a bench mark of 3, this was a 700Mhz P3 ladies and Gents, it was a dinosaur, couldnt put more than 1 GHz ram in it, (for which I more than made up for in storage, the best thing on iot was its G Card, which scored a 4.4 (sorry cannot remember what it was...) any way the rest averaged 2.7- 2.9 and the lowest being 2.7 that was my score,


    My new score is this: basescore.jpg

    So is microsoft really telling me that because my graphics card is not that up to date ( which suprises me as the specs seem fairly cool) my computer ranks with that of my 7 year old PC?

    Damn! I just wasted £700 getting a new PC

    Mat

    PS will upload my results in a moment!

    MatCauthon, your computer is only obsolete or inadequate if you think it so. Keep in mind that Any FutureMark benchmarks are only that - benchmarks. Those benchmarks exist mainly so that different computers can be compared.

    If you are satisfied with the real world performance of your computer with the applications and programs that you use, then what more is there to say? :)

    Benchmarking software can still be fun to run and can serve as tools for evaluating a system. But for us, the bottom line is still whether your computer meets your needs.

    Nice score. I will have to try OC'ing to 3.6GHz and try to beat you

    lol, good luck with that. Get a better fan on your thermalright and youde get better temps :)

    people say that it hit 4GHz easily so i think i could get 3.6GHz with my cooler and fan

    scott why is your CPU score so high? I've got an Q9650 @ 3.6GHz and it is only getting 14430

    Also i have a friend with a E7300 @2.9GHz and that is getting over 29k

    After looking at the other scores I was wondering the same thing.
    I have run the benchmark several times with the same results. I ran it at 3.2ghz and got 33k so it is consistent. And in line with your friends score.
    I am running Win 7 RC1. Not sure if that makes any difference.

    Well my friend is running Vista 64bit (same as me) the first thing I thought is maybe the install had gone wrong so he reinstalled 3D Mark but still got the same scores.

    Is your GTX 260 overclocked? If you have Crysis on your computer, could you try GPU test at 1680x1050, high, noAA?

    I have not reloaded Crysis yet ( but I will )
    Yes it is overclocked.
    I will try and get to the benchmark later today.

    Thanks! That was quick!

    BTW, you can post the Crysis results here if you think this thread is not relevant for that.

    You guys realize leaving GPU PhysX enabled in the nvidia driver seriously distorts your CPU score, right?

    The nvidia driver helps the CPU do its tests since they're both PhysX-based. I get a difference of about 30,000 points in CPU score between GPU PhysX enabled or disabled.

    Ran it again with PhysX disabled and you are right, my CPU score dropped by 26,680. But my overall score only dropped by 3,580. Not too bad and still the highest post on this thread (so far). By the looks of some of the other CPU scores, they need to disable PhysX and re-run theirs as well.

    Does screen size/resolution impact score? I'm running a 24 inch monitor (HP LP2475w) at 1920x1200. That screen size/resolution has to impact frame rate/GPU score negatively right?
