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.
Good results from the Direct X 10 based benchmark, scoring more than the AMD HD7700 1GHZ in Crossfire.
Another good card from the Sapphire team 🙂
Great cards. My friend bought one and its really quiet. the coolers are great this year.
Bought the 7970 last week 🙂
Quality cards, but its a tough decision id have to base on price right now. as they all overclock much the same.
Its XFX or Sapphire usually, but that gigabyte card is a solid buy,
Only one problem. YOU CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE !!!”
nice specs. good performance sapphire coolers seem a bit better than XFX coolers in regards to tempeatures.
