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.
3DMark Vantage is a Direct X10 synthetic benchmark and the scores are in line with what we would expect for decent gaming performance at modest settings.
Them seem a decent make and if Amazon stock them, their warranty system is excellent regardless of the manufacturer. This is why I order from amazon all the time, no quibble returns if problems occur.
I would however look at a passive card for a media center, although many of these cards dont generate much noise at all. I read a thread where a guy disabled the fan on his card and underclocked it by 100mhz and it was fine! (6670)
6670 for a media center would be my first choice. I currently use an nvidia board but its old and about to die. might look at a passive 6670
Id go for a passive solution in this sector.
