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 XFX R9 280 Black OC Edition scores 36,914 points, putting it just behind the more expensive Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X OC.
What kind of VRM temps did you get with this card? I’m a little worried as after just 5 mins of Furmark with stock settings my card has VRM temps of 99 degrees.
Hi dav, I meant to add that in. have done now on the temperature page.
