3DMark Vantage really raise up graphic challenge for today’s GFX cards. If you have read the test data chart, you can notice that even GeForce 9800GX2 lags in the benchmark, and it is a greatest graphic torture since Crysis. So it is a benchmark for future gaming setups, not for todays.
We must point out that NVIDIA and AMD did not polish a new driver for 3DMark Vantage. ForceWare 175.12 got less score than ForceWare 174.74, and HD 3870 CF will got a corruption screen when using Cat 8.4 w/ hotfix, for instance.

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.
