3DMark Vantage


3DMark Vantage is the follow-up to the highly successful 3DMark06. It uses exclusively DX10 so if you are running Windows XP, you can forget about running this benchmark. However, it presents us with a truly stressful test of any modern graphics card so we have decided to begin including it in our testing procedure.

Overall Score



GPU Score



CPU Score


It is quite obvious that the HD4850 loves this test as it completely trounced the 9800GTX. Another important thing to note is that at this time the CPU scores of these cards is pretty much redundant until Physics drivers start appearing for both companies.
