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 GTX590 comes out top in this test, behind the dual configured CrossfireX high end boards, with a score of 35903. This compares well against the HD6990, even at 880mhz core clock speed it can't break 35,000 points.
