I just ran 3D Mark Vantage 1.1.0.0 with the rig in my signature. My score was 33214.

The CPU was running at 4.4GHz with the graphics cards at their factory speeds.

My 3DMark06 score is 31076.

My previous 3DMark06 score was 22292. Since then I have replaced my motherboard with one that has 16 graphics lanes per PCIe slot. Before I had 8. The number of graphics lanes available per slot is where my computer was bottlenecking.

I'm going to try reaching 5 Ghz with the CPU and set the card to its other BIOS which overclocks it and then see what scores I get.

Just thought you guys might be curious what a high end rig scores.
