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 11 is designed for testing DirectX 11 hardware running on Windows 7 and Windows Vista the benchmark includes six all new benchmark tests that make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading.
After running the tests 3DMark gives your system a score with larger numbers indicating better performance. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.

The 3DMark scores for this system are quite reasonable thanks, in part, to the HIS Radeon HD 5830 Turbo graphics card.
Yeah that doesnt look to be that good. the board layout, sata ports etc are badly designed. Fair score.
I dont think overclocking is that big a deal on a product like this, but there are weaknesses in quite a few other areas which are well noted.
Seems ok for a basic media center, but the pricing is putting it against better products.
Foxconn make a lot of products for other companies but this isn’t one of their best, thats a cert.
Poor value for money for such a stripped out board.
If they dropped the price to 50 quid then it would make more sense.
The bios needs an overhaul. its silly for them to offer overclocking in software and not in the bios.
This harware is OK for a media PC because you don’t need Sandy Bridge? What about transcoding? A media PC needs Sandy Bridge the most, for transcoding and reduced power dissipation. HD media streaming is actually very challenging for hardware.
aaaah i cant make my xfx 5830 work on this motherboard, my graphic card is fine id tested on my friend motherboard and it work perfect, i hate this motherboard
what bios version is used on this test?
