XFX HD7850 Black Edition Review

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.

Very commendable results thanks to the hugely overclocked core, the HD7850 Black Edition manages to outperform the GTX570 by around 200 points. It is actually only 700 points lower than the last generation HD6970 flagship, which is impressive.
