No, it doesn't. Vantage is rediculously biased, which is why if you want any kind of accurate score you run Vantage with PhysX set to run on the CPU.

+1 ^ He's 100% correct. PVHK, you will find that in fact, HWBOT will not even accept your score as valid, unless they can verify that PhysX has been disabled, and it's function turned over to the CPU. I see a lot of guys getting all bent out of shape over this, and I don't understand why.

I intentionally posted 2 runs on my machine, with, and without, PhysX enabled, just to show how skewed the score becomes when the GPU has access to run PhysX.

Post your best run with PhysX disabled, and then you, and everyone else will recognize a valid score. Good Luck.

I can't help but question if PhysX is actually disabled, especially because you don't show the GPU-Z primary "Graphics Card" tab GUI.

Turning off PPU in Vantage will not completely disable PhysX which so many people believe. Prove it to yourself. Leave PPU enabled in Vantage. Now go into nVidia Control Panel and go into "Set SLI & PhysX Configuration". Now choose "CPU" from the "PhysX Settings" drop down menu. Now when you run Vantage and look at GPU-Z all the way down at the bottom, and you'll see the PhysX box un-checked. As long as that box is checked, you'll only be kidding yourself with your scores.

Look at my screenshot posts and you'll see what I mean.
