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 system scored 33,664 points, which is a healthy score and a good indication that older Direct X 10 games will run very smoothly at high resolution.
I just dont understand the purpose of this card.
Its no more efficient than previous GCN cards.
Atleast Nvidia is releasing a much better architecture with 750 Ti and 960/970/980.
I was expecting a bit better from AMD,i thought the 285 wil be faster than the 280x. Guess i’ll wait a bit and see Nvidia’s offering to replace my 7850.
To use up the chips which weren’t good enough to be sold as 290s and push TrueAudio support.
Where’s the power consumption test? It should, in theory, be less power hungry.
I don’t expect them to do it. Nvidia’s CEO speaks about higher prices in the future and articles about AMD not considering changing their GPU prices where posted a few days ago. Also AMD has done this before. They replaced better performing cards – 7730, 7750 and 7770 – with slower cards – 240, 250 – at the same price points. They are doing it now again. Lower specs, higher price.
Go ahead and replace your 7850 I had two in CFX and replaced it with this card and you know what I don’t regret it one bit
This card even though very very good on 1080p gaming just can’t cut the mustard with 4K gaming which is where AMD pitched this card maybe if it had 4GB of Vram then it would be a much better contender
damn you Nvidia fans boys come out in droves…. It isnt meant for 4k gaming … And if you want big green go with big green… damn…
