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 fantastic result for the MSI card, scoring over 19k in the performance level benchmark. This is actually more than the AMD HD6950 at reference clocks. Very impressive indeed. The eVGA GTX460 FTW by comparison scores just over 16,200 points.
damn, thats a nice card. MSI certainly have created one of the nicest looking cards !
Thats what im talking about. under £200 too ! wow, was expecting it to be 230. best buy right now? must be up there with the best.
Have to hand it to MSI, they know their card designs. I dont buy into that ‘military grade’ stuff myself, but the cards get plenty of attention to detail and thats worth a lot of credit when some other manufacturers can be very lazy.
Excellent, glad to see a good 560 here, even among the 40,000 AMd reviews 😉
I have the 460 GTX from MSI, which I read here and on bitech last year, its been the best video card ive owned. I dont really need this card, but the next generation 660 ? ill be getting that from MSI. awesome boards.
560 is an awesome card, thanks for the review Z, awesome as always.
Wish they would do a 2GB version. lets also hope the new generation will support 3 screens without needing two.
Very impressed with this board, 60c under load when gaming? thats better than a 5770 I have in another case !
Great price point to achieve. would be my first choice for a new card.
nvidia tessellation performance gets to me everytime. AMD have still such a long way to go.
proves a point too that when AMD fans say Nvidia suck a lot of power, the new designs have it sorted. 🙂
