Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10. 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.
With the FX-8350 system running at 4.60GHz, thanks to the 990FX Extreme9's overclocking potential, a 13% increase in CPU score is measured.
