hey guys,
 
im new to the 3dmark vantage benchmarking.  I just ran my 2 480gtx's and i7950 OC'd to 4.0GHZ.  my scores are as follows.
CPU: 64834
GPU: 34016
Overall: 38604
 
This is with physx disabled (i think).  How do i enable the physx on 3dmark vantage?  i can't find it anywhere on the 3d mark options screen.
 
Also, is there a big performance boost with Physx enabled?  im trying to figure out if my vantage score is about where it should be at.  Thanks

    It's enabled by default and your score shows that. Dead giveaway is the CPU score since at your clocks you'd be hitting like 23-24k CPU score w/o PhysX enabled.

    I thought you could also click the "Disable PPU" block under the options tab.

    +1...Exactly correct. In the Vantage Options Tab....check the box next to Disable PPU = PhysX Processing Unit.

    That's if you paid for it. The free version does not allow you to change it.
