Don't look for 3D Mark Vantage, you won't find it ;)
lol i know its a challenge now. i dont even bench i just thought if no one else was posting i would. i guess they have kept it tight... congrats thats rare these days.
500.000$ is a good fine :p:
how come youre up so early? it was like 5 am and i got up i couldnt sleep.
I'm always up & "running" :p:
5 to 6 hours of sleep and then back to work.
Currently writing an interesting article regarding...the application in the title of this thread ;)
yeah i figured that. thats cool. im backing up dvds and then gonna reinstall windows on this piece of ... its been a year and its time for that annual wipe the drive day. i will say for almost a year and a half of vista on this machine its worked great. i could keep going but i have no space and i need to wipe out all these old apps i had installed. just ends up destroying it.
Nvidia just "released" the performance of their cards on 3dmark Vantage.

Check out those results at the Extreme preset, not even 7k with Quad SLI. :up:
A 9800GTX at 790MHz core clock gets around 16fps in the 2 GPU tests. This is with the Performance preset.

LOL this is getting out of hand.
Won't comment on the scores though, FutureMark's treating me well, and I intend to keep my promises.
can you tell them i would keep quiet too ?! or anyone you know that likes to send out free samples..
im great at testing things !
(those score previews are telling me I need two 4870's not one just for a benchmark...)
I'm currently compiling some nice charts, wish I could show them to you guys now.
Well... tomorrow's the day the embargo ends, you'll have to wait some hours.
P.S. Intel if you're reading this, I need a SkullTrail for my tests :p:
Too bad Futuremark doesn't do as lousy a job at keeping their software under wraps as most game developers.
I should have been pirating this DAYS ago I tell yah!!! :rofl:
Very interesting bench mark this one but :banana::banana::banana::banana: paying for it LOL
Good on them for making people pay they should have done it along time ago, i know i would have, if there is money to be made then make it i say.
If you're going to use it "frequently" the price asked is fine.
Consider the work behind the curtains, and the product's quality.
LOL, and their superb quality ORB which is broken on IE totally, and :banana::banana::banana::banana: when it does work
So is this going to be available at midnight tonight? I mean, that is technically the 28th.

Looks like 8am CST on the 28th. (Which is probably when reviews will go up as well)
I think its time to convert my gaming machine to a Vista64
(not that my 3850 is going to hold up to much anyway)
43 Minutes and counting...
