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. We are using the Entry preset.
We used the ‘Performance' settings for our 3D Mark Vantage testing today.
The processor is certainly the star of the show, scoring almost 36,000 points, An overall score of 8839 is impressive for a laptop.
