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 Asus G74SX with GTX560M scores 9,227 points. The MSI GT780DR with GTX570 scores almost 2,500 points more, for a total of 11,720 points. Clear benefits from the higher powered Nvidia discrete solution.
