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.

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:
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

PS will upload my results in a moment!
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.

ASUS Maximus 2 Formula
Coolermaster M850 (880W)
4870x2 (8.11) (there is a new performance driver out on the 10th. We will see how much more points that gets soon) :thumbup<O:p</O:p

No Vista here unfortunately...
I be green
Damn fine score and a rig to match
its a intel core 2 duo e7300 @ 2.66
look at the attachment
Q6600 @ 3.6
GTX260 core 216
Also i have a friend with a E7300 @2.9GHz and that is getting over 29k
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.

Is your GTX 260 overclocked? If you have Crysis on your computer, could you try GPU test at 1680x1050, high, noAA?
GF 9600GT @ 750/1050 Accelero S1+120mm fan
RAM: 4GB @ DDR2-545
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.
6GB DDR2-733
GTX260-216 55nm @ 675/1152
GTX 280 @ 675/1350/2376
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.
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?
