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.
Again, we see a noticeable boost in performance when the system is overclocked.

Ideal for a new build in the prodigy case.
Good product, I like their video cards more than their motherboards lately 🙂
I was quite interested in the on-board audio – they advertise the THX TruStudio, but it’s stil just a RealTek chip. I was planning on a Home-Theater/mini gaming rig, but the power seems to be very limited on ITX boards, which could be a problem if I want to upgrade.
Very in-depth review but would have been a lot more informative if the benchmarks were also directly compared against other mitx’s of the same chipset.
