3DMark Vantage Compilation

[LiveOrDie]

Not sure what you are talking about vantage is mainly GPU benchmark, (8 gpu tests) with some cpu testing thrown in(2 cpu test). Also I have used both and AMD is snappier in Windows I cannot tell you why but it feels that way.

yer it is but if you look at the maths a i7 @ a lower clock speed than a AMD the i7 comes out on top because its a faster chip all round but like you said your chip wont bottleneck you the reason your scores lower is just because the i7 chips based on better technology, and its 3 GPU tests and only 1 CPU test if you have Physx on

um no count again and superior how? because it cost more.

gpu test
1. Jane Nash
2 new calico
3 texture fill
4 color fill
5 POM
6 gpu cloth
7 gpu particles
8 perlin noise

cpu test
cpu test 1 Al
cpu test 2 physx uses cpu when physx is off and gpu when on

JANE NASH -GPU TEST
NEW CALICO -GPU TEST
AI TEST -CPU TEST
PHYSICS- GPU TEST WITH Physx on/CPU with Physx off

EDIT
the other test do not count in the total score you can turn them off, im not saying intels better than amd i just think the way there designed is better, the 1st intel i7 chips that come out were based off server technology same with the X58 boards, when the 2nd socket come out they started to droping things back

count again, sure looks like a gpu testing program to me.

TRT is talking about the FULL test of Vantage. Before you go into options and disable all the "feature" tests.

If you run vantage normally it is mainly a GPU testing program with one or two cpu tests depending on whether you have physx or not. Hey I could be wrong but I don't think I am.

well that was the whole deal with 3D Mark it was a 3D test, but 3D mark 06 depends on cpu speed alot, umm makes me think could you run a test if you have 06 with the same setting as vantage?

Yes this systems destroys 06. Hey don't get me wrong I love Intel systems and the boys a Geforce have really made a case for AMD owners to buy their gpus because they do help the AMDs cpus out when needed. I had a Intel I core 7 920 at 4.2ghz 24/7, with a Rampage Extreme II and 9 Gb of tripple channel DDR3 1600 and it was great, but this systems comes very close and cost me a bunch less. In day to day use I see very little difference. Now with heavy video editing you would see some but not that much with a AMD x6.

yes guess your right there i only buy evga branded hardware now so the x58 was for me if i was crazy i would of got a high end cpu i do use photoshop i've got the newst one off a mate CS5 and runs really good on my system with the 480, but really in most games a overclocked dual core will do just fine, but i've got to say i was running vista for 2 month when the i7 1st come out and it was really bad it stopped responding all the time copying files would hang and never finish, so when win7 beta come out i was onto it and i used it all the way upto when 7 come out, i think sp2 fixed those problems now but what im saying my dual core run better in vista over a $600 i7 chip.

 

[trt740]

I just ran a 06 run real quick with nothing optimized, all background programs running etc.. cpu a 4.2ghz, gpu at 750 ish and score 24,000. I will run a full out one tomarrow but being mother day my wifes getting pissed at me. Cpu was at 7,400 score or so.

I need another waterblock to start raising the GPU vcore some more. Then I can push the cores higher. Mem is already maxed in Afterburner at 1300

Aaahhhhhhh - lookie what I found:





Need some more barbs or connectors now...

im thinking of getting a full cover or a this one then use the gpu block i got but idk

 

[t_ski]

I like the full-cover blocks, but I think it would be really cool if EK made a backplate that looked like that uni-sink. Something with a little more surface area to help cool things down even more.

Again higher overclocked cpu, and more expensive, larger amount and better ram, plus a motherboard thats more than 3 times the cost of mine.

You claimed it's not a bottleneck in a benchmark thread, I assumed you meant it's not a bottleneck in the benchmark this thread was made for.

Besides, reread my post, I specifically said in benchmarks.

Live or Die's cpu was clocked slower, and I can build an i7 rig for the same price as a 1090T rig. You aren't saving anything by going AMD with a 1090T, unless you already have the board.

But the 1055T? Now that's a bang for the buck cpu.

+1 if i was you probably cost more to change from a i7 to a 1090T because you would of lost money.

What? re-read my posts I never said anything about a benchmark, nor did I say you couldn't build a I7 rig as cheap as a AMD rig. What I said was AMD chips don't bottle neck the newer gpus. I then went on to point out you compared my middle range to lower end AMD system to two very high end intel systems( Asylums cpu was clocked much higher than mine, Live or Die's cpu wasn't), with motherboards that are 3 times more expensive, with more ram, that clocks much higher, tighter and costs almost three times more than my ram. I also disagree that you aren't saving money by going AMD. There are several situation in which you will. The I7 and 1090t don't improve gpu performance anymore than a highly clocked 955 or 945 and they are much cheaper than intel chips or the 1090t series. Anytime someone says anything positive about AMD the Intel owners get mad.

and who said you should do that? You are now saying things that I never implied or stated at all.

Below is all that I said. Then I included a bench using 480 gtx gpu, which most claim to be the fastest single GPU card on the planet. To show that this gpu wasn't bottle necked in the least by a AMD cpu. Thats all I said no more no less and then this started.

Oh also anyone who says a AMD cpu is a bottle neck is a moron. FYI say goodbye to a geat card my XFX 5870 just sold.http://img.techpowerup.org/100508/480 gtx.jpg

is that overvolt tool only for BE cards ?

no clue matey

Tom, all he was stating was that you did not say if it was in games or not, but since you made this statement in a benchmarking thread, he assumed you were talking about the benchmark.

Honestly, it does not make any difference to me if you guys want to argue about this, but I don't really think this belongs here in a thread for posting benchmarks. I think it's time to get back to the intent of this thread...

Looks good Tom - keep 'em coming

You have any plans to watercool that thing?

 

[DOM]

can you run one with out PhysX ?

i guess its never going to happen

 

[trt740]

No , at least not now. I'm a air cooler guy but with water cooling two 480's would be unstoppable, and I will run one without physx once I find this systems max using it. My 1099t wont go near as high as some will, my max overclock is some peoples 24/7, so look for higher cpu scores in the future. It may be my value motherboard, or my lower end ram making my system less stable.

 

[t_ski]

You got the Megahalem on it? Surely should not be cooling then, unless you are running it passive
