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.
Again, we see a significant boost in performance when the system is overclocked.
I used one of these boards recently. well not the same board, but an asrock Z77 board and the fact they put in all those automatic overclocking features is better than anyone elses. I dont think ASUS do that do they? you are expected to have good knowledge of the hardware to get good boosts.
ASROCK are in many ways leading the path IMO.
