Make sure vsync is off in your Nvidia control panel as well as in Vantage. Also make sure you're not running a 3rd party profiler like Rivatuner or some such.

well vSync is off in the NVCP and it does not look like it is on in the benchmark.. I do not use rivatuner or any 3rd party profilers..

Gave 3DMark Vantage a try on my machine. Had to install it. So, its a fresh install. I did pay for it (long ago); so, its an unlocked version -- if that has anything to do with anything. I noticed the max frame rate in any test was 366 (Feature Test 6 on the screen momentarily). I get very-slightly different numbers each time I run it.

Phenom II X6 1100T 4.0GHz, 2x HD5870 CrossFireX

P 26047, GPU 28980, CPU 19981, GPU1 85.08, GPU2 84.69, CPU1 2567.66, CPU2 31.44




EDIT:

For completeness, I downloaded and installed the free version of 3DMark11 (recently updated). Ran it at the standard settings (only way to run the free version).

3DMark11 Score P 7724, Graphics 8698, Physics 6076, Combined 5392, GPU1 46, GPU2 45, GPU3 55, GPU4 22, Physics 19, Combined 25.

FWIW

Wow Neph, you running that proc at 4.6Ghz all the time or are you letting the BIOS lower the multiplier when it's idling?

I downloaded the newest free version V1.10.

The install did not allow me to pick a new folder or differentiate the new install. So, it merely updated my previous install to V1.10 -- probably not what you were after.

I ran it twice -- getting very-slightly different results from above -- P26245, G29518, etc. The FPS values were within 1 FPS of the above.

Although, as I remember, I only paid $5 for the right to retest (did not get the pro version for $20) -- so maybe this runs like the free version -- but allows unlimited test runs.

In fact, here's a thought: Maybe you ran more than the minimum number of "Free Test Runs" without paying the $5. Hence, the program has limited your FPS as a "reminder" to pay the $5.

All this is FWIW, as I am remembering from a long time ago regarding payment and "limited test runs". And, maybe, the latest version of the software is different.

OK I been told that the benchmark does not limit your FPS?? I still can see what is causing my FPS to be limited to 60??

OK I had another Suggestion of turning OFF Triple Buffering but that did NOTHING>>

I was also told that I am running a 120hz Monitor because that is the ONLY way I can get 90FPS.. I like How some fool can Say what I have when he does NOT know Crap..

I did get 90FPS and I do NOT have a 120HZ monitor it is not even a monitor Guess he refuses to read my sig on some other website lol!!!

I in fact have a 75HZ monitor and 1 Time I ran this after a Fresh install I was getting 90 FPS so the HZ has Nothing to do with what FPS I get..

It does in FACT MAtter ONLY when I Enable S3D..but during the test I turn of the S3D Effect to see what I really get..

I think because it is the free version it is porked because know I get an error after about 3 tests that Full Screen Failed to come on or somothing stupid.. So Basically I can NOT even run the test now.. wink

I think When I get some cash in 12 days or possibly sooner Buy the Vantage for 20 Bucks And Get some Official Support from the Tech Guys perhaps they are a bit More Knowledgable..

I for one can not see why the Games Run Fine I seem to get Very good Frames but this Free Vantage Test I do NOT???
