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 Sapphire HD7750 Ultimate Edition scores under 10,000 in this test, just above the HD6770. The HD6790 by comparison scores almost 12,000 points.
AMD would be completely lost without Sapphire fixing their messes at times.
Good read. Any chance they could release a passively cooled HD6970 🙂 ?
Heatsink is good, but would that sticker not need to be removed before using it? might melt into the fins.
Great product, good old sapphire never fail to deliver the goods for media buffs.
Ok ill probably get attacked for this, but here it goes.
Why not passively cool the hD7770? I cant see how it runs too hot for a passive cooler.
