Sure no problem!

I know some people are having low Vantage scores on their systems.
I was investigating this together with AussieFX but so far we don't know much.

Anyway here are my scores:

Phenom II @965 speeds (3400MHz) HD5870 default
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1454977

3DMark Score P13764 3DMarks
CPU Score 11128
Graphics Score 14944


A bit OCed Phenom II @3840MHz and HD5870 900/1300
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1440530

3DMark Score P15254 3DMarks
CPU Score 12736
Graphics Score 16331

So my score is below par then (PII 940 @ 3.6 with DDR2 800mhz. The 965 is an AM3 right? So u will be running DDR3? Do u think that would make a 2000 point difference in Vantage?

I get around P15000 as well with pII 955 3,7ghz, 2,4ghz NB and 1600 7-6-6-20 ram, 5870 @ 1000/1300...

with 950/1300 and unoptimized drivers (mipmap high quality, 8xAA edge detect, AAA and 16xAF on, though i think Vantage doesnt realize these settings) i get

3DMark Score P14149 3DMarks
CPU Score 12708
Graphics Score 14705

Also AM3 which has better mem bandwidth.
Anyone here with a PII 940?

You definately should be getting a better score. I'm running a PII 955@3800 on an AM2+ board(GA-MA790X-UD3P) with DDR2@1066 and I get the following score on an 5850 running 835/1080:

Total: P14445
GPU: 14979
CPU: 13049

I'm running Windows 7 x64 (rtm).
Which OS are u using?

My CPU score is 12x00 which seems about right.

Same OS as you are with the 8.66RC6 drivers from the AMD website.

Man, now i'm stumped. I think i'll uninstall Vantage and reinstall it.
Maybe a setting in my bios with PCI-E needs to be changed.

Just look at my sig. or read System Info in my links

Now I know that common theme for low score guys is Windows 7 x64...
