My Skulltrail @ Vantage

I got a late start on Vantage (last night) and had a bit of trouble with my Physx card so I had to pull it. First results @ 4Ghz from the rig in my sig. I will put the AC on tonight and get some better runs out when I get off work.

In performance I hold a nice frame rate, in hard preset runs pretty good. I need to switch monitors to run Extreme preset.

Sorry about the image size, I am off to work and wanted to get my numbers posted.

Skulltrail @ 4Ghz 400x10
Nvidia 9800GX2 x 2 750/1140
Mushkin FB-Dimm 4-5-4-15 @ 800Mhz
Corsair HX-1000 PSU

Entry preset 47,417

nice scores...:D

that's wicked sick! :shocked: :yepp:

Skulltrail will pwn in the vantage :D

Pretty :)

What are entry and performance preset?
Nice score

I would need to screen shot to the two pages to show all the differences between Entry and Performance.

Thanks guys, bigger scores coming up later.

Fugger, i guess u must be missing the dudes from proxycon and the radar shootings
Jane nash looks like a cheesy version of ruby demo :D

Fugger - overall worth money?

If this comes as points on HWBOT I may just have to go quad (E8400 and E8500 now:up: )

From what I can see now it looks like CPU score doesnt help the end score very much. I will rip it up at 5.6+Ghz now that I got a different license.

Awesome cant wait to see the score. It seems that the extra cores help the physix but thats about it.

Looks good charles!

I think just plain old quad sli will own in vantage period :D . Skulltrail really isnt needed if you get the gpus high enough. It scales alot like 03
The difference between a properly tweaked 790i/skulltrail is only a few hundred points with same gpu clocks.
Vantage is really awesome....I totally love this benchmark. Not too long and it runs great on quad SLI, finally we can see how quad sli scale with a more up to date benchmark. I'm loving Vantage BIG TIME and I'm planning on benching THE HELL OUT OF IT.

You must be kidding. I spent half my weekend looking at the loading screens with a 790i and QXS9650 @ 4 GHz.

The loading screens do take quite a bit of time, I am even running 4x Raptors in raid 0.

Good to see ya benching vantage fugger and looks good...

Sounds good Vince, lets see some orb damage with tek 4.0s and f1ee...

Keep tearing it up...

I submitted and linked up the ORB results browser.

Charles, do you have my adress? ;)
You CAN ship that skully setup if you want..! :rofl:

How many BSODS?? I have had one BSOD when I first install the benchmark about 100 runs ago and thats it!! and it was driver related nothing to do with the bench. It's amazingly stable with 174.74+ and quad sli. Very smooth and scales good. A bit different than my 06 quad experiences :)

All i can say is i need a faster CPU....

Q6600@ 3Ghz, 2x 9800GX2's @ stock pulled 13,272 in the performance run for me.

Awesome. It's too bad we don't really have enough benches out to see where most systems will fall and what is truly an awesome score, but I doubt many will come close to yours Fugger

Real Impressive FUGGER :clap: :clap: :clap:

I didn't have to reboot often, because with too high GPU clocks, it crashes, but you don't have to reboot. What I meant was the loading screens of the benchmark take some time to go away, especially the first grahics test ;)

hmm i had a issue with my physx card also

it corrupted my cmos...
which made me to flash the cmos back and
overclock from scratch
also had to change back my 9800gx2 from pcie 2 to pcie 1..
and had to increase my PLL/SB voltage from 1.5 to 1.6

30k for cpu score is just insane..

I was pleased to find in my inbox a complimentary registration for the Vantage Advance :up:

I wanna bench but I dont have vista... anyone wanna pony up a donation? ;)

Please? :p:

Awesome scores FUGGER!! Lets see you break 20k!! Im glad vantage doesnt rely so heavily upon CPU for scores, makes it more of a gfx bench, just like its supposed to be! :)

You shouldve participated in the contest for 20 3dmark vantage licenses. All you had to do was write an explanatory article about some aspect of overclocks or computers. They had 20 licenses to give away, I dont think even half that many people wrote articles. ;)

I can buy vantage, I just cant afford vista. I aught to think about server 08 for my next OS also... :up:

You can download server 08 (loads vista drivers) and use the 30 day trial to test and bench.

I have updated all my scores and will be moving up yet again with a new beta driver.

Dudes !

I got on the List too ! hahaha , I spend a full day trying to catch up with you guys ... I am number four on the list, my OC Kung Fu is not too rusted :)

I am sure you guys will atomize me in the next few weeks, just happy to see that I could catch up with the best for few days ... hahaha!

Passing the 20K is really hard ...

Thanks to Louis for the FB-DIMM doing 3-3-3-10 :)

What is Louis FB? he put his magic touch on the build?

20K is easy, PM sent.

I am trying it now :)

thanks!!!

Sweet score on that Skulltrail.. I almost got beat up by my wife for buying one extreme CPU.. I think If i dropped the cash on TWO of them plus one of these mobos I'd have to bench from beyond the grave :)

:rofl: :rofl:

Fugger are you running one or two QX9775s on that mobo?

EDIT: NVM I just checked the results.
