    "Your trial has expired

    My first Vantage was 9150 but second try failed becouse of my Trail account. :( Sorry guys

    Anything else you want me to run ?

    Quite bad to buy a computer like this and see the FPS results in the test. But i guess its quite good to be a laptop.

    Ahhh futuremark... They always like make us feel like this, it feels bad to get a new card to discover that it is already "outdated" :rolleyes: . Dont worry thats just a score, you can play everything at very nice fps :D

    Gotta keep in mind that the program is designed to stress the GPUs to the max. It doesn't reflect DX11 gaming. It's designed to test a cards DX11 capabilities under the most extreme circumstance. ;)

    I'd imagine in the 12k range as those additional 224 pixels make a bit of difference lol ;) On another note, I'm trying to make time to keep up on the benchmark thread as far as updating and what not but work is getting hectic, if there is anybody that would like to run it, can update it more often, and knows the code stuff for the forum shoot me a pm and I can hand it off. :( If not I will continue to try to update as soon and often as possible. I also need to hear your ideas on what categories to include for 3DMark 11: gpu, cpu, overall, etc?

    And give us screenshots like Killerjon does, that show settings. These numbers, without definition and documentation, are meaningless. And it gives Dane something to work with.
