3DMark Vantage Extreme Bench

Out of curiosity, This is like 2+ years old why is there only a thread being created now ???

It is a bit more than 2 years old.:D

The reason is it gives the graphics cards/CPU a good workout @1080p and it is something a bit different from the normal DX11 benchmarks elsewhere.:)

Ahh cooleo, Might have to buy the advanced edition, So far I've only got 3DMark :)
 
i've got this on a disk somewhere. i'll dig an optical drive and that disk out and give it a go :)

edit: i've decided i don't like this benchmark. fine on gpu test, crashes on cpu test. so i lower the cpu clock and it crashes on the gpu test? wtf

It is a very tough test on CPU overclocks and for useful for testing them.:)

Run both at stock to make sure the benchmark completes, then tune accordingly.
 
My less than stellar contribution ;)

GFX Score: 28636
Physics Score: 35951

It is actually a very good score.:)

It shows the 4 cores on your CPU running more efficiently than the 6 cores on my 3970X and also taking into account the clockspeeds your 290P is running a lot better than my 290X.:)
