3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is Futuremark’s latest DX10 benchmark exclusively for Windows Vista. This is truly the next generation 3D benchmark.
We used the default ‘Performance’ setting preset, and the usual 1280×1024 resolution. 3DMark Vantage is comprised of numerous tests including full scale gaming, CPU and card feature tests. For the purposes of this review, we’ll be focusing on the CPU tests only.
3DMark Vantage CPU Test One clearly favors the Core 2 Quad 9550. The 150 point margin of lead is nothing to scoff at.
Test Two tells a different story, favoring the Phenom II by a fair margin.
