QUOTED :


" Sure, The Boomtown Rats' I Don't Like Mondays is one of our favorite songs but this coming Monday, April 28 is too special to not like as Futuremark will be releasing 3DMark Vantage. The new testing tool is set to lots of nice new obstacle courses for our systems to fail miserably in so one point of interest at this point would be how well some 'new' generations cards will perform in it. To help out Nvidia apparently made a quick preview of the single, SLI, tri-SLI and Quad-SLI performance of its 9 series GeForce cards in 3dMark Vantage.

Although the bench system is unknown, the numbers below, which depict the cards' scores with both the Performance (1280x1024) and Extreme (1920x1200) presents, should be a reasonably-accurate preview of how the GeForce 9600 GT, 9800 GTX and 9800 GX2 handle Futuremark's new benchmark. As you can see, the 9800 GX2 comes very close to breaking the 10K mark with the Performance preset while the Quad-SLI setup is almost at 14.500 points. We'll find out if that's good or bad on Monday when we'll surely see a lot of reviews go online with scores of these and other cards. For now, try to enjoy the weekend. "







SLI seems to Scale better than before (I think).

Yip and the Extreme setting should stop the Kiddies crying like in many threads about the default RES in 2006.

Means double the tests/time for most of us though lol.

Hmm, I hope the results are real or did they estimate/simulate them ? (going by embargo comment I would hope they are real).
