Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with entry settings.
A score of 14,224 with the Entry Preset is actually very positive for the target market, we are already getting a fair indication that this card should be able of handling modest game engine settings.
Seems like a very decent card for the money. Not my cup of tea, but for media duties, very nice indeed.
If they clock this to 625mhz it will not relate to these scores unfortunateyl, thats a significant core clock drop.
Not a very exciting product, but the fact you can game on more than one screen, even if the IQ would be rubbish is a very cool idea. Great idea for a second system but I cant see this being used as a gaming card, more for media.
In that area it does very well indeed.
Sales in this market are much larger than the high end but there is very little money to be made here by AMD or their partners, maybe $10 a card profit.
This is a nice update, but passive would be more appealing to me than a fan.
The HD6450 seems like a nice HTPC card, if not a tad expensive.
Also, it’s nice to see a tech review site that actually makes an effort to make sure that their graphs are clear to read, so people can actually quickly make sense of the data (the whole point in a graph). Keep up the good work.
