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 just under 12,000 points places the HD6790 right behind the HD6850 and ahead of the GTX500Ti which scores under 10,000 points.
Really good price for what you get, nice cooler too.
Well let’s be honest, it wouldn’t take much to outperform the 550 ti
Very nice card. Some very good work on AMD’s driver side.
Image quality looks amazing for a card at this price and performance is on par with the price sector.
It’s a shame that even with the much improved F@H Core 16 this card wont fold nearly as many PPD as a GTX550Ti. That kind of sours the whole deal to me.
Stellar Review Zardon. Nice addition of the overall scoring on the conclusions page.

I really hate the way they change the naming conventions on these. why not call it the 6770 and be done with it?
Otherwise its impressive for the price and fascinating to see the CFX results showing it often close between GTX570 and GTX580, for a fraction of the price.
These are extremely impressive little boards, for the price I cant see it getting much better than this.
I am very impressed with the performance results, I hear some of them will be 110 quid too, bargain really.
That cooler is identical to the 5870 version, thats a nice way to do it. saves them development money on a new cooler too.
The biggest problem is that 5830 has dropped in price, XFX are selling their 5830 XXX for 85 inc vat.
How GTX550 Ti loss on Resident Evil 5?
HD 6790 – Max FPS 72
– Min FPS 57
Average – 64,5
GTX550 Ti – Max FPS 72
– Min FPS 60
Average – 66
To me this is a victory by a green team… Well, the result yet remains in favor to red team, with 7 victory vs 5 victory.
On games the battle is very difficult, 4 wins for each team. I was thinking, if is possible make this test in 1650×1050.
After all, 1650×1050 is the better choice for both cards. 2560×1600 and 1920×1200/1080 is more High-end resolution.
Maybe put more games DX11 e more titles. Just a idea. Anyway, good reviews! Thx for that.
We don’t post maximum frame rate figures Guiherme. The 72 fps is the average figure, not the maximum.
Thanks for the comments, glad you like the reviews.
Hey guys, why would anyone buy a GTX 580 (AU~$500) when you can get two 6790’s and crossfire them for less than AU$300? Is there something I’m missing?

because most users doesn’t have an XFire capable board to do this and some doesn’t want to Xfire at all.
