i just purchased a copy of 3dmark vantage, and here are my results:

e8500 @ 3.7 scores 35,000? i haven't messed with any of the video settings, just ran test and it scores higher than the highest cpu score? doesn't make sense, can anyone explain?

thanks

Disable physx ...... you will not counted in ORB rankings or hwbot if you run vantage with physx.

Emporio, this option is in your nVidia control panel.

One of the 'CPU' tests in Vantage is a Physx test. When Vantage was first written Physx was mainly run on the CPU. But, then nVidia acquired Physx and now their drivers allow the code to run on the GPU giving inflated 'CPU' scores.
