3DMark Vantage - New World Record!

[michaelah500]

Asus has assisted some extreme overclockers in achieving a new world record score in 3DMark Vantage. It's amazing to note that the Asus DirectCU 580 used in the benching rig was overclocked to a brilliant 1.5GHz! Read more here...

I don't understand how they get the CPU score on vantage, because the overclocked sandy bridge chips on Tom's videos were getting 70k ish cpu score...but still...bravo to them.

you cant use the phtsx drivers on hwbot so its fair for both nv and amd cards.

funny thing is amd cards can turn tesselation down with their drivers on the dx11 benchmarks but nv cards dont :|

.. and they handle textures at a lower quality, but that's besides the point.

Physx should be allowed on the cards. The test is meant to be for graphics benching, and not comparing how well your cpu can handle physx.

Get an extra physx card ya cheepskates ! I've got an old pci version that works well with the drivers that came with it, voiding any nVidia's anti-AMD drivers.

Very nice. Thats a huge OC on the GTX 580 1500MHZ + on the core, thats huge!!!!

Did they ever put up a video of the thing in action?

Better still, is that card even alive now?
