Have just Vantage for the first time and was hoping to compare to other people's to see if they are normal.

Running on the Performance default settings, I achieved the following scores:


3DMark Score: 13555

GPU Score: 14650

CPU Score: 11074


Specs are in sig. Nothing is overclocked except my CPU, which is running at 3.2Ghz.

I was also expecting a higher score. My only theory, providing that the cards are working correctly, is that Crossfire doesn't scale very well in Vantage.

You have a nVidia card which will get a big boost due to having Physx onboard.

It will improve my CPU and overall result, that's why I told you my GPU score which isn't effected by Physx. My actual score was just under P16000.

Ah, my mistake then.

Still waiting for someone with a 4890 Crossfire setup to share their results. :)
 
Doesn't look like that is a problem (your link)

I would remove all drivers relating to graphics cards, run driversweeper (or cleaner, can't remember which one is the free one now) in safe mode and then reinstall fresh drivers.

Possible the drivers for physx is causing a conflict but wouldn't imagine that would be the case, as I had the physx drivers installed for other games as well and got that score. Your 4890's should be beating that for the graphics score certainly.

Does GPU-Z definately show that crossfire is enabled?

Isn't driversweeper out of date and problematic on Vista?

GPU-Z does indeed show that Crossfire is enabled.
 
Q6600 is clocked too slow. 3dmark vantage is pretty good at eliminating cpu bottlenecks, but I noticed that the gpu score is actually affected quite a lot by the processor clock for a single hd 4890.

Try the higher presets and then compare.

OK, I ran on the High preset and produced the following results:


3DMark Score: 11076

GPU Score: 11073

CPU Score: 11088


How should I compare that to what I got on the Performance preset? Is this also low for my setup?

I can't run on the Extreme preset, as my monitor's resolution is 1920x1080 (minimum resolution required for Extreme is 1920x1200).

I would like to clock the CPU higher, but I can't take it much higher that what it's at on this motherboard. 3.2Ghz is 100% stable, so I will probably keep it as it is. I'm not really interested in achieving high benchmark scores, I'm just concerned that my low scores may be symptomatic of some kind of issue that would effect games. I paid a lot of money (for my means) for this setup, so I expect it to run as intended.

Using a q9300 at 3.3ghz, I get a high preset graphics score of 7680. Considering that mine is clocked at 1000/1100, that score looks about right.

Knock 15% off my score and you have about 70% scaling efficiency.

Thanks for the reference ghost101. :)

What is everybody else getting on High?

Just want to find out for sure, one way or the other, if my setup is working properly or not.
