Highest End Sytem Possible for 3Dmark Vantage?

Last response: in Systems
Share

Bored, what parts would I select if I wanted to have the highest 3D Vantage score possible. Now keep in mind, the parts have to be available (doesn't have to be through newegg either) the system should require a professional to assemble and would need to run permanetly (no liquid nitrogen cooling).

well, certainly a watercooling system...you would want to push the 965 to at least 4.5ghz to run the benchmark, and koolance makes some excellent waterblocks for the 295s...you would want those overclocked to their maximum as well.

Sort of absurd though since synthetic benchmarks have no value outside of bragging rights...issues with microstutter with two 295s in quad SLI have been known to occur, and the friggin thing would be a space heater.
