PCMark Vantage evaluates different aspects of your computer under simulated real life scenarios, and provides a score based on the program's proprietary performance evaluation algorithms. Once again, the posted numbers are quite close across the board -- the difference between the Ripjaws and Viper II Sector 5s are all within 2% of each other. Overall, performance of the tested RAM are quite consistent across the board, and the results are well within expectations. For a more detailed breakdown, our graphs above should tell the story quite well.
