3DMark Vantage Gold is coming on Monday, 28th of April - Page 3

CALLOFDUTY05 · 3rd May 2008, 08:34 PM

Ran the benchmark & got P4237 (Performance 4237).Not impressed at all except the 2nd graphics test.Also only the $500 Pro version supports viewing the result offline & can save results.Even the Advanced version doesn't support saving results & viewing them offline.I know FM has spent $5 Million into developing Vantage but i doubt how many people will buy the Pro version at $500.Atleast we could run the free version of 3DMark 2006 without having any limit but limiting the trial version of Vantage to only a single run wouldn't help FM to popularize their product for sure.Also most of the people are still using XP & they won't be upgrading to Vista for just a benchmark.

Well thanks to Futuremark I ran 2 tests using the professional version I now have registered. For those who have run the trial version and are perhaps looking for a key to use advanced or professional think again. They are two separate programs you have to at least buy basic to use a key to upgrade to advanced or professional.

The tests ran smoothly and some new things in there still playing with it

Lucky man.You got Pro for free ? Nice scores btw.

I think Vantage is more GPU intensive than 3DMark 2006 which was more CPU intensive.
