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 HD7750 and HD7770 score as we would expect with this Direct X 10 benchmark. The XFX HD7770 Black Edition S cards really come to life in a Crossfire configuration however, outperforming both the Nvidia GTX580 and AMD HD7950.
