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 eVGA GT650 1GB leads this particular benchmark, scoring 11,667 points. The Sapphire R7 250 Ultimate isn't too far behind, scoring 10,657 points. The GT640 2GB trails the pack, scoring a measly 6458 points.
no single slot? well that sucks… HTPC users need single slot cards.
Harris, AMD cards output a lot of heat, building this into a single cooler design would be not feasible, based on the temperature results Kitguru recorded.
AMD need the Maxwell architecture for this. I am surprised Nvidia haven’t released a single slot passively cooled MAXWELL based card, but I am sure it is coming soon.
Including the previous Sapphire Ultimate (HD 7750) in the test comparisons would have be very helpful. Next time?
