This marks the first time that we have used 3DMark Vantage in our benchmarking. 3DMark Vantage purports to use DirectX 10 Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader 4.0 to run every benchmark. In testing the CPU score has been relatively constant, within a few points of each other on every card I’ve run the test on. Therefore, I’m using the graphics score in the tests.
