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.
3DMark Vantage gives a good indication of performance with older Direct X 10 titles. The Sapphire Tri-X R9 Fury scores well at default settings – 51,509 points. When pushed to the 1,100mhz limit, the score increases to 52,476 points.
When manually overclocked, the Fury pushes past the Asus GTX980 Strix.
