The Futuremark guys, taking some time off from trying to keep the ORB from going "boom" under the load caused by the launch of 3DMark Vantage, have updated the 3DMark Hall of Fame. You can now find toplists for each benchmarking preset of 3DMark Vantage.

Current top systems (30.4.2008 at 11:30 EET) are:

• Entry: E49092 - FUGGER XtremeSystems 3D Team
• Performance: P23000 - k|ngp|n
• High: H13876 - FUGGER XtremeSystems 3D Team
• Extreme: X7366 - jAkUp - EVGA 9800GX2 - EVGA 790i - QX9650 4.7GHz on Jinu SS

Currently it seems that  GeForce 9800GX2 Quad SLI setups are dominating. Considering how hard the new benchmark is on the GPU, this is pretty much to be expected. 3DMark06 at the very high end had very much turned to a CPU-limited benchmark, and 3DMark Vantage definitely avoids that problem - at least for the moment.

It remains to be seen how soon ATI strikes back. The always reliable Internet Rumors indicate that the new ATI chip may be less than two months away...
