    Hi everyone,
    I thought I would start a thread where we can collect everyone's scores and view them all at once. Here's mine:

    If you can't read the writing, it's P1813

    Thanks,
    Gabe

    You have a 8700, right?

    I can't get the benchmark to finish on my system (see sig), always fails with an error after the first CPU Test...

    Besides that I hate how futuremark is desperately trying to make money out of 3DMark with that one-run-only-trial-bs :/

    Hi,
    Yes, I'm running the 8700 configuration in SLI. Surprisingly enough, I thought that Futuremark may have been capitalizing on the trial thing as well. However, for some reason, I can run my 3DMark Vantage as many times as I want. It has yet to tell me that it's expired.​

    Gabe

    P.S. - I feel your pain on the whole repair process on a brand new machine. However, rest assured that it will most likely come back better than when you received it. I know that my Area 51 m9750 is working fairly well now.

    @ Gabe: What drivers were you using? I used i think 175.53 (whatever the Vantage one is) and I got P1840 on 2 8600M GTs in pseudo-SLi. They weren't OC'd either. You should probably get the new drivers, because I don't see how my setup would beat your 2 8700s.

    Edit: Is that 1 or 2 8700s in your system? If it is 1, then my system must have some issues.

    I'm using 174.16 for the drivers. Also, my processor is only a 2 Ghz. It seems like the people that have better scores have higher processors.

    My configuration is in sig now.

    Maybe the CPU is a bottleneck for your 8700's??

    Hi Dhoang417,
    Most games play fine for me. I didn't think that an extra 300 mhz was going to do anything major for me....especially at such a steep price. I may bump up to a 2.3 eventually. It seems like there's some really good prices on ebay.

    Oh 3DMark Vantage.

    LOL

    I have been on here too long today. That's PCMark. Oh well, I'll leave the post, maybe someone'll find it interesting.

    ^^ I guess I'll start a Vantage thread in the gaming section for all brands, still though its not the brand that matters its the hardware so I had to barrow this thread to compare my scores too so I knew if they were good or bad.
