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.

The Extreme settings were used for testing, so a resolution of 1920x1200 was used.

Benchmark Results: The ASUS ENGTS450 DirectCU TOP and the EVGA GeForce GTS 450 FTW have a difference of 9 points in the overall and GPU 3DMark Vantage score; that is a .17% difference. The MSI N450GTS Cyclone 1GD5 was 6.6% behind while the reference NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 was 17% behind. When we ran FutureMark 3DMark Vantage and the pair of NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450's in SLI we saw ~91% improvement in both overall and GPU Scores.
