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 performance settings.
A score of 30,648 points in this older Direct X 10 benchmark is excellent, falling into the top half of the performance chart.
Well that is beautiful, no doubt about it. excellent card from Gigabyte!
the windforce coolers are great, I have an older windforce card and its quiet as hell.
Just watch out for dust long term, they do gather a lot, and I find they need cleaned out every 4 -5 months under regular use or performance will be hurt.
If you only have a 1080p monitor I dont see any point in spending more than £180 now.
Ordering this one in the new year. superb for the money
Well I’m more than sure that I’ve made a good investment, my country is hot, arround 36 on summer so a good cooling solution it’s a must have, anyway good investment, good decent card, way more cheaper than nVidia’s a power hungry overheating machine, I’ve hada lot bad experiences with nVidia this is my first AMD-ATI GPU
