3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware. 3DMark Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.
Performance settings were used, so a 1280x1024 resolution was used.
Benchmark Results: 3DMark Vantage results were not great when compared to all the quad core processors, though they were not horrible, either. It was somewhat expected since the CPU tests rely on multiple cores and threads to perform the calculations. Being limited to 2 cores, we took a hit in performance.
