Slovnaft Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I actually bought my RAM based pretty much solely on the fact that it came with a free copy of Vantage. It's been nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_M Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 To all the whiners complaining that Vantage is not free, how do you even own a computer without paying for it (not to mention the electricity)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstru Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Lol....I don't think anyone cares about 20$.....It's all about the very heart of HWB philosophy, that's the problem, not the price.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_M Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The very heart of hwbot surely includes a PC that you have to pay $ for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllusioN Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 .., cant stay away... there´s a lot of work put in to finding the 2k3 problem.., an old benchmark.., outdated long time ago... We have a brand new benchmark we dont do, no boints.., reasons unknown I would say.., even if SF3D manage to get reduction for HWbot users it wont change the outcome.., for me this reulted in I only bench xtreme preset now... I paid 20 bucks for Vantage..,(I paid for all my benchmarks 01, 03, 05, 06, and Vantage..,) I want my own licences thats all. Put a lot of effort into Vantage when it came out.., then came all the bs with PhysX.., I must laugh.., here is a whole bunch of reasons for stopp doin this.., not to mention all the other "shared hw, mipmap, LOD, hp" reasons... But.., in my heart I´m a bencher.., so I cant stay away.., even if that would be the most sane thing to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstru Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Poll has been up for more than a month and the answer is still NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Ok people, it's time we close the poll. The outcome hasn't changed much in the past 2 weeks. It ends in 68.44% in favor, 31.56% against. It's obvious most of the community wants to see Vantage added, yet many are still against it. We can't please everyone, but we can please the majority. We have made a deal with Futuremark to offer Vantage for a reduced price (about 25% off) for hwbot members. I hope this will convince some of the 31% to use Vantage. Hwboints will be enabled as soon as the have the reduced price Vantage edition ready, we are aiming at next Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
