3DMark Vantage, new torture for your gaming setup.

April 30th, 2008 by Jeff Benchmark tools, Software7 Comments

16 cards benchmark with Extreme preset

With extreme preset, all NVIDIA cards with 256MB can not even pass the test, however Radeon HD 3850 with 256MB can make it through, though it is only scores 823. GeForce 9800GX2 still keeps leading the way, 800 points more then ATI’s dual chip card, HD 3870X2.

Once again 9600GT 512MB and 8800GS 384MB comparison prove that 3DMark vantage is graphic memory sensitive, both cards have a similar performance in todays games, but in 3DMark Vantage it shows a gap of 300 points. Too bad we don’t have 8800GS 768MB right now, if a 768MB can be added into the test I think it will be more funny.

    I tried in my Dell Latitude D630 with Quadro NVS 135m using Forceware 174.31 WHQL and 175.12, but I can’t get the score. It alwayas error at:
    -Both CPU Test error, the first seem ok, but after it done, it display error message. The second is not loading.
    - The third feature test that reported boosted by 175.12 but cause BSOD using 174.31, and failed back to desktop using 175.12.
    This is the worst 3DMark ever. The best one is when it still Madonion.
