3D Marks Vantage How do you match up?

[SSSlippy]

Futuremark

3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test the DirectX10 performance of your graphics card. We've been making 3DMark for over 10 years, with each new edition using the latest 3D technology to determine real-world performance.
A 3DMark score is an overall measure of your system's 3D gaming capabilities, based on comprehensive real-time 3D graphics and processor tests. By comparing your score with those submitted by millions of other gamers you can see how your gaming rig performs, making it easier to choose the most effective upgrades or finding other ways to optimize your system.
3DMark is widely used by the PC industry, press and media as well as individual users and gamers, for comparing performance levels between whole systems or even specific components.

Note: All tests must be run in "performance" mode to allow those without a copy to participate.

Please list your system specs along with your 3 scores. Mine follows

Cooler Master ATCS 840
Windows 7 Ultimate
Enermax Revolution 85+ 1050W
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
I7 920 Running at 2.67 Ghz

Avast ye swabs! When I benchmarked last I only had 4 GB of RAM, now I've got 8 GB, I know that doesn't mean much difference for the purpose of this test. All components are at the factory clock speeds, I haven't overclocked anything. (except the memory to get it to the proper clock settings with the BIOS).

Case:
NZXT ZERO 2 Crafted Series CS-NT-ZERO-2 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Processor: Intel Core i7 860 Lynnfield 2.8 GHz

Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D LE LGA 1156 P55 ATX Intel Motherboard

Graphics: EVGA 896-P3-1171-AR GeForce GTX 275 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit DDR3

Hmm learn why the CPU scores are way off. They include physx from nvidia GPU's. All future tests should be done with physx disabled.

Pretty good Ruff considering the system listed as the best looks to be a quad SLI system and you keep up fairly well with it.

[SSSlippy]

you left physx on ruff.

you left physx on ruff.

ya thats the default in performance mode.
ill turn it off see what happens
WOOT

overclocked CPU results

Which app do I run, there are like 5 listed there. I tried to use one of them and it crashed halfway through. I was getting 500+ FPS on some of the tests.....HO YEA!!!

So which EXACT NAME AND VERSION do I need to use to run a legit test?

[roor]

bump?

In performance mode and make sure physx is off.

I see the trend as the CPU being better then the GPU i think mine is ass backward because i cant install the drivers for my MoBo. the CD says it doesn't work with windows 7... the MoBo is the ASUS P6T6 WS revolution.

Considering every intel motherboard uses the exact same drivers that's not possible. Go to the official website. Your also running a dual GPU setup of course your GPU will score higher.

People need to turn off physx as I keep saying as it screws up the numbers.

How so? ANd in a good way or a bad way?

[SSSlippy]

Because physx is a nvidia only tech and it boosts your CPU score by insane amounts. Since they do not support ATI's proprietary engine it screws up the scores.

By a nvidia card or a separate physx card ....then all is good

[SSSlippy]

Still makes physx useless.
