QX9650 + GX2 SLI + aircooling = 20k in Vantage (almost)

That is about the same GPU clocks I used. So running Skulltrail at 4 GHz gave you only 2k less? That is surprising, as the score is not that far off from what I had with a single CPU.

I thought about that but no screen shots on any site unless you pay $500 or know somebody. How does a forum like XS get by without the always popular screen cap? An ORB link compared to a screen shot is oh so boring, not to mention the major interruption in system tweaking when benching. I think your right about them wanting everyone to go to the ORB, they want the added traffic to feed their advertising. Sorry for going off on you, I think this bench has a lot to offer but the annoyances are well...annoying :D

hey Ollie you filthy fr3Ak....I hope you dont mind me posting this here, you can see that this benchmark is really gpu bound and scales alot like 2003. It's all gpu horsepower that pulls vantage score. I took skulltrail from 4ghz-5.6ghz and score only goes up about 2k keeping same air card clocks with stock cooling. With GX2's in quad @1000mhz+ on LN2, the scaling will be HUGE 2-3x what I got from the cpu I bet. At 5.6ghz I see 6500+ OPS on first cpu test :D

Ha, thanks Vince, that bench with ST was all I needed to confirm what I've seen in my testing about CPU/CPUs influence on the final score ;)

P.S. I believe FutureMark will add the save functionality in the Advanced Edition soon.
Displaying the score after the run would be nice, but I don't think they'll add that as well.

P.S.2. Having a Pro version makes people feel special with those changes Vantage brought :p: ( not that I agree with those decisions though )

Very nice! Could you please run the Extreme Preset as well. That should stress your monster setup even more.

It doesn't make me feel special to be able to run Vantage Pro on my lappy ... that crappy 8600M GT :shakes:

You are also missing the Sapphire ( ATi BBA ) logo :p:

:D thank you George ;)

Futuremark are crazy?
You can not pay 495$ dollars to know a score, this benchmark is "the thing" you not know your score until it publishes on the orb....:rofl:
Now benching with ethernet cable under ln2 :D:D is ridiculous.....other licenses are useless...:mad:

The new name of futuremark Vantage is "The thing benchmark" is impossible know the score without your ethernet Mastercard....:D:D

Eheheheh

I like this benchmark and I have nothing to say about the cost of the advanced or basic version that is not so high but the online score system is awful...

I agree with u zilla.

Fr3ak, I see 1.5 vcore in your cpu-z screenshot. What was your bios setting or did you do a vdroop mod on the board?

I'm a little concerned with running that much vcore through a 45nm chip

I set 1.525 V in BIOS which is way more than I would run 24/7. 1.4V should be about the max, better 1.35V.

at tis evening he was very finished and say lots of funny things ....but also important and interesting things :p
there exist a video but it is in German :( so freak right some sup title :D for the xs community
