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.
The HIS HD7970 Crossfire results top the chart, right behind the Quad SLi performance of a pair of Nvidia GTX 590's.
One of these cards is expensive enough, cant believe anyone would need two of these !
not much of a deal to make me want HIS over anyone else. XFX card looks by far the best. surprised they beat sapphire out of the block with a modified card.
What are HIS like for warranty terms in the UK? Some of these far east brands have little support in UK.
the problem is the UK pricing is all over the place. between £440 and £540 and most of them are reference designs. get the cheapest card I say if you want one./
