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), Windows 7 and Windows 8. 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.

A detailed breakdown is available here.

The strong GPU score indicates where the system's strengths lie. Despite a lacklustre CPU score the overall system still scores a respectable 24599 points in 3DMark Vantage.
