    i'll try to push it to that then. i'm in class a computer class but i would have to run it on battery so i don't it will be a great score. lol.

    i need to see what;s the max my cpu can hit. 3.33ghz is unstable and it will blue screen. i can run at 3.2ghz but 3.125 is my stable overclock.

    school and work has me wrapped around there finger so I can't really do to much. And if I was to pull an allnighter, I would be making up that time when I would be with the AllPowerFul. But i'm still going at it regardless......

    I posted my crysis run but they were x86 runs a few pages back.....

    @Praetorian

    At Very high you should hit around 27fps without AA of course :).. Thats what i scored with my M17x on average IRC..

    Dying to see what the ATI cards score though..

    Well, it's benching now- should be up in a few minutes. This time without AA. :)

    EDIT- here is is. The average wasn't anywhere that high Quad- but it did peak around 28-29. Could be something wrong....if it is, I don't know what it is. :)

    Thought something looked off in your config.. Let the demo loop 3 times not once... First run is always slowest ... Report back :)..

    Click all the settings that Praetorian has and your fine.. He changed the demo to loop 1 time when it defaults to 3 ... that was all i said earlier.. If you click on his thumbnail youll see where it says 1..

    Why does it seem that I have to play the game? Do I have to play through the first stage or something for the benchmark? I'm still stuck like chuck.

    Hey Don, I did downloaded and try to benchmark. here is how it goes

    1) exe. the tool
    2) windows pop up and I choose Quaity settings, add runs, queue it , choose 64 bit and dx 10.

    3) I click on Begin Benchmarking Run, then it start loading , then " press any key to continue ". The scene goes on , he jumps off the plane , and then he's in the water drowing( unless I play and move to land).

    It's like i'm playing the game..I see the benchmark numbers running on the top right...but still I'm reallly plaing it. seems right?

    Well, It starts the game everytime I click on Begin Benchmarking Run. Weird. I tried " a lot " of times. THe weird thing is that all those numbers on the top right hand corner is running during the game. Maybe a bug in my system?

    Verify PhysX is disabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel. PhysX should be off for your Vantage runs as it will bump your score.
