WR for now? At least until Vince wakes up =)
Nice one Fr3ak :)
Did the physics card make any difference?
About 200 points, so it's not really worth it, but I had it at work, so why not using it =)
Screenie is for 4.2GHz / DDR3-1680...?
Also, any reason the RAM is underclocked? Not sure what the default timings are so whether you're pushing those tighter than usual but in my experience at least DDR3 likes speed over low latencies.
The system is my bench system at work for the Vantage review. There is still a lot of room for improvement.
why do i only get a submit results button after running but no score and no save button?
Wonderful World Record, Oliver, we all knew that if there was one person who could pull this of, that it was you ! :cheer:
:p:
Damn how much time did it took in 06 to beat 20K?
Well nice score
I don't know Peter. What version do you have? I have been using Professional for the whole weekend, so it must have to do with that. But theoretically you should be able to save a score.
Massman: haha
I have scores of like every high-end card saved. My original plan was to upload them all today on Hwbot and get a bunch of points and a boost for the team. Didn't work hehe. But honetly, you should really consider of adding performance setting + points to your database.

Sweet Oliver :) You are lucky to get Pro license for free.
It is needed to be able to save and view results :( I just bought advanced and feal cheated.
Decisions will be made soon, very soon, but I'm pretty sure that the performance preset will be the way to go (poll says so as well). Points are another story and, although I'm not fully convinced yet, your arguments do make a valid point.Quote:

Can you only save scores with the professional licence??? :confused:Quote:

Ok, not being able to save results with the advanced version really is bummer. In that case Vantage should not be awarded on Hwbot. None of my bench PCs has a internet connection and I bet that is the case for about everyone with a dedicated bench setup that is not used for anything else.
ouch not being able to save scores even with advance is a big problem for folks that bench alot :(Quote:

What are they trying to achieve by removing almost all usefull features?
This is unbelievable!! :mad: :mad:Quote:

Fine for reviewers, what about the rest of us??
so not even the advanced version can't save results? bah that sucks :down:
I'll make a suggestion to them to add the save feature to the advanced version.
theyre daft if they dont add the save feature to advanced. i mean its a necessity for god sakes, not to mention every previous (advanced) version has it.
now i see, that explains all the orb urls instead of screenies... freak i wouldnt even mind, but orb submissions are bloocked from the office and i cant even see my score
Even the free versions of 3D06 we could save our scores:( Futuremark :down:
Same problem here :(Quote:

I just bought advanced version and I feel cheated aswell.
Damn...
Well, I have the professional version and still cannot upload results to the ORB. Once I disabled and reenabled the services, my network connection is dead and I cannot install Vanatage on any of my other PCs, because they all have XP...Quote:

It sucks in about every aspect that I can think of compared to the older ones.
- You can't save scores with anything but the professional version
- GT1 and the CPU tests look like garbage
- You are forced to use Vista ^^
It is nice to see how well it scales with both CPU and even more GPU power, but that is about it.
The loading times are freaking me out. You have to wait between a minute or 2 before the benchmarks starts.
yes yes, I am already looking for 1000 CPU supercomputer with 2000 GX2 cards so that I can own with absolutly no OC skillQuote:

That comment made me open the Benchmark Ticker ... awaiting you uploading results now ;) :DQuote:

Edit: I was too slow, see the post above =)
thanks for tests Fr3ak :up: , this pro-advance thing really sucks, who will pay that much money in order to save the results ?
btw, i always hate to see cpu tests on a bench called "3d" , as it says it is 3d benchmark, nothing about how many cores a cpu has.. if you can make a 3d benchmark that can use multiple cores, than make it but adding cpu tests to a 3d benchmark is nonsense for me:down:
as always , 3d01 rocks !:up:
edit :
forcing to use vista is everywhere guys :)

Whats all this crying about vantage...you will be running LN2 to complete a benchmark, does it really matter if your looking at loading screens or a bench running?? It's start to end and thats it. From an extreme benching point of view(which is the only point of view I HAVE) this benchmark rocks. It's short and sweet and scales with the monster setups(something that almost all other 3d benchmarks don't currently do. Your benching for a final score thats it.. who cares what your seeing lol. I am watching my temp meters almost whole bench anyways. I have seen 2006 run enough times already to make me puke..and got sick of this one MUCH sooner. Some guys turn their monitors off when running 3dmark lol.
A minute or two doesn't seem right tho...maybe more like 35-45seconds or so.
And I guess the cpu test is 2006 looks much nicer than this one?? :D
I love 3dmark2001 as much as anyone, but quad core cpu and quad gpu does not scale in that benchmark.... so a bench like this is good to have ALONG with the others.
I know I am the little crybaby here, but my expections were much higher =)
It runs that slow because of the huge amount of objects, but that's it. And yes, the 06 CPU test looks much better. At least we have shadows there ;)
I had to wait for the benchmark to start for 2 mins, I even have it on tape ^^
Guess I will be benching with better cooling in less than 2 weeks hehe
I just hope I don't have to use buggy skulltrail.
First thing I did, ehen I tested the physics card, was looking for a voltmod. After I did the measurement I remembered, that there are no OC tools for it ^^
please somebody tell me that I didn't have trashed 19$ :(
:rofl:Quote:

.., congrats to a sweet score!!! .., leaving a comment bout Vantage seems kinda dangerous.. :-).., I just love having something new to play with!!! :-)
nice scores and quickly benching .. :up:
Looks like it's either wireless or no Vantage here, majorly annoying.Quote:

WOuld be an interesting poll to run: "Do you like Vantage?"
- yes (basic)
- no (basic)
- yes (advanced)
- no (advanced)
- yes (pro)
- no (pro)
to see where the satisfied customers actually are.
BTW, nice OCP avatar Vince :D
Freak, your score is the "Performance preset" right???
Yeah that ' P ' in front of his score, is showing the preset selected ;) So, ' P ' stands for performance, ' E ' for entry ... ;)Quote:

Maybe this is FM's way of reighning in control of the usage of their products via screenshots on "other" websites for system comparisons. Can only see your score on the orb..Quote:

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
http://overclockingpin.com/219-vantage-skulltrail.gif
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 :DQuote:

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.Quote:

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
EhehehehQuote:

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
