Kingpin seems to really like the top!

I bet he is a rich bas**rd or else he would not have the money to do liquid nitrogen cooling and do the insane overclocks on the hardware.

If I recall it right vendors give him the stuff free so he can push it and get a high score. It is like free advertising to them when people see what he used to get there.

If you can,try to provide the Futuremark link too so that we can see & compare the scores & our test machine within ourselves.

So, what's your system spec that has been used to achieve that score ?

Oh....yeah I should give a link lol

That's intense man! Very nice rig, Quad-SLI you say. That's intense. How does your system work in Crysis? Do you have any benchies from Crysis? I want to stay on topic but can you please create a new thread showing your results in Crysis? I would be very interested.

Why am I not surprised as well???

Anyway, currently downloading the trial version and will run it later on today or tomorrow. When I'll do, I'll post the scores of course, here in the thread.

Just finished running the "Performance Test" and got a score of P4640!

To be honest, I was expecting more from my 8800GTX, compared to other people who got around P4500 while using a 8800GTS.

But I guess it probably the CPU (E6600) that makes the difference between a 4K to a 5K or 6K score...

I'm planning to upgrade my E6600 to a Quad Q6600 in about two months, so we'll see then if it makes any big difference.

Oh, and beside that, I'm still running the nVidia WHQL 169.25 Video Drivers, so maybe installing the BETA 175.16 drivers (Yep, nVidia already released 175.16 drivers after 175.12), will make any difference as well.

I'm thinking about buying the "Advanced" Version (only $19.95).

So...In case I'll buy it, I'll install 175.16 and re-test.

Wow finally i'm near at your score Zach despite having a crappy CPU.Actually Zach, Vantage is more GPU intensive than the 3DMark 2006 which was CPU intensive & if you had a good dual or Quad core,you would get a very high score.But to score high in Vantage, you need to have a Quad.Otherwise your score will remain at par with other users even they have much wicker CPU than yours.Like for example, my CPU is crap compared to yours but still we are getting nearly identical scores as the performance diff b2in a 8800 GTS 512 & an 8800 GTX is nominal.

I guess you're right and like I said, I'll hopefully upgrade to a Quad-Core Q6600 in about two months. Let's hope it'll increase performance also in future games and not just in 3DMark Vantage, as I'm not planning to buy it only to score higher in Vantage...
