3D MARK Vantage is screwing up... lol

[|Classified]

I have a very strange score on 3d mark vantage,

it tells me that my cpu score is higher than i7 975 Extreme edition

I have like a Q9300 @3.0 GHz

WTF happened here lolz

Just looks like a glitch, try rerunning the test. restart pc etc. If that doesn't help reload vantage onto yr pc. I'm sure that'll fix it.

This is the first time you got a score like this I take it?

I was like OMG, WTF when i saw this, then compared to i7-975 and i lolled xD

You have got physx enabled.

 

[Rastalovich]

Which he should imo as the benchmark includes physx calculations. Emphasis for physx calculations are then based on cpu performance which is not what the benchmarker was designed for. Without it, u may aswell use another benchmarker.

Would be like dismissing any SSE3 cpu results from a benchmarker as a fair number of the community only had SSE2. Or similarly Dx11 cards from Dx10 benches as it would be unfair.

Disabling physx makes the Vantage gfx results worthless, and reflects on cpu scores.
