First test results

We haven’t had the time to have a proper play with 3DMark Vantage yet, but we did get the chance to run it on a test rig over the weekend. Our test system comprised a 2.66GHz Core 2 QX6700, 4GB of RAM and a 512MB GeForce 8800 GTS, although it had no PhysX chip. As you can see from the results below, the CPU test gets very little gain from jumping from the Performance to the Entry test, but the GPU score differs dramatically.

Look out for a full test of 3DMark Vantage on a number of different GPUs in the next issue of Custom PC.

Entry:

GPU: 21797
CPU: 9503
Total: E16470


Performance:

GPU: 4870
CPU: 9463
Total: P5543

Test kit: 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad QX6700, 4GB of PC2-6400 DDR2, DFI Infinity 975X/G motherboard, 512MB Zotac GeForce 8800 GTS, Windows Vista 32-bit SP1, ForceWare 175.12 BETA
