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.
Direct X 10 performance with this synthetic engine is rather disappointing, scoring just under 10,000 points, almost identical to the last generation HD6770.
What an insanely dull card from AMD. not much HIS could do to make this interesting. but why not focus on a single slot cooler for HTPC? would have been ideal, right?
