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 HIS HD6950 scores almost 20,000 points at the reference clocks, which is a very healthy score indeed.
Very nice, shame it looks like a fisher price toy …
Ordering one, my friend has a IceQ card and I agree its basically silent.
Simple fact is, once it is shoved in a case you never see it again. its not that bad though. its different I like different
wow quite surprised it was that good, my HD6950 hits 88c in furmark 🙁
Whats their UK warranty like. no info on it? do you return it to OCUK or not? they shafted me before with a motherboard and no one helped.
It shows that a small fan isnt necessary bad. they have used massive heatpipes and a huge venting area to ensure it spins slowly. nice idea. shame they dont do a black cooler version. I have a case window mod with lights and this would look hideous in it. (all red lighting in my case)
seems like a very good product indeed
Seems to be the best 6950 around. You didn’t point it out, but the fact that this is also a rear exhaust card makes it pretty amazing.
And I think some black paint might help it out a bit.
