3dMark Vantage anyone?

Hi

Just wondering if this is right place for this but i've just run 3dMark Vantage after buying basic edition and i'm pretty disappointed - no adjustments available and set to performance!

Anyhow, here's a snip of my first run and i feel small next to the highest score:

Re: 3dMark Vantage anyone?

If you have ever watched how those "highest" scores are accomplished you wouldn't feel so bad. Let me just give you a small hint, it doesn't involve a typical pc or even a case, and liquid nitrogen is used. I have yet to tweak out my OS as I just installed Home Premium 64 bit, but I hope to do a full test soon.

Re: 3dMark Vantage anyone?

My first run was done shortly after some heavy processing and I need to put my machine optimisations back in place. Anyway my first run result was P9154, CPU=8750 and GPU=9297

This is an example of how you get that high number your seeing on that site.
