3DMark* Vantage Overall Socre (default setting @ 1024 x 768) 1.00 1.17
3DMark* Vantage CPU Score (default setting @ 1024 x 768) 1.00 1.99

Benchmark description

3DMark* Vantage, from FutureMark*, is an industry standard PC gaming benchmark, designed for Microsoft Windows Vista* and DirectX10*. It includes two graphics tests, two CPU tests, and several feature tests. The CPU tests measure the contribution of the processor on 3D graphical performance while the graphics test measures game simulation performance. The overall score is a combined score of the CPU and graphics tests.
