***** Official 3D Mark Vantage Scores thread *****

You mean you don’t think they added it due to the big push towards hardware physics this year on the GPU? Turning the GPU into a PPU wasn’t a good enough reason to add the test? I would hardly call it dead when hardware Ageia physics in going increase by millions of owners this year.
Except the Physics test doesn't use hardware GPU physics, only software only or Ageia's own PPU. Although the graphics tests apparently incorporate support for hardware GPU physics according to Ageia's API, the physics test itself is utterly pointless.

As for "Ageia physics in going to increase by millions of owners this year", the API maybe due to NVidia's buy-out but their hardware is totally dead.
 
CPU overclocking is supported in the bios.For GPU I used Ntune.

Edit

For CPU overclocking you need a x7900/x9000 since they have the unlocked muti =/

I know about the CPU, the GPU has been my issue. I'll try nTune with the 175.12's shortly. Almost every program either refused to work with the 8800m GTX or overclocked the cards to an underclocked state :|
 
No need in being cheeky Helmut, especially when you can see you were involved in this discussion just yesterday. I have never seen Pottsey speaking about/to you in that manner?.

Everyone involved in the physics discussion should start a new thread and then let the debate start there. Just because you ask for scores now Helmut you were quick enough to use this thread for a debate the other day.

:)
 
I only spoke about his off topic posts in this thread (if you look you will see he posted before myself).

He and you are more than welcome to open a thread on Physics topic, I wont be posting in it and would actually welcome it to let this thread be on the topic it was intended for.

So you turned over a new leaf or simply a case of the pot calling the kettle black ?.

When did you get promoted to a Mod ?.

I'm a community member. That's why I've replied. A mod lol, nice flamebait that I won't break a sweat over ;).

I don't care about physics. I just think Pottsey gets a lot of attitude and replies gracefully with information so there's no need in throwing insults.
BS preaching everytime

Got another 2GB arriving tomorrow so will post the difference (if any).

Didn't make any difference :p
