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.
Some interesting results with this benchmark. At the entry level settings, the HD7730 in Crossfire takes top position with the Sparkle GTX650Ti taking second spot. At the performance settings however the results reverse with the GTX650 ti scoring around 1,000 points more than the Crossfired configuration. Again, the GDDR5 HD7730 is noticeably faster than the GDDR3 version, even with a 1GB memory deficit. In this case, more is certainly not better.

Not bad really considering the price. ideal for a low power system with a weak power supply too as there are no demands placed on it.
You know, for that low performance, you might as well get an APU at that budget range. A10-6800K is $130 or so at this time, whereas this $60 + a CPU will be well over that.
The integrated graphics of an APU won’t be as powerful as a HD7730.
