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 HD6870 FleX scores 16213 points with our 980x overclocked system. This is slightly more than the highest performing GTX460 cards, such as the eVGA FTW @ 850 core.
