Download 3DMark Vantage free - 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.

Benchmarking 3D graphics cards and CPUs for gaming is tricky business. Of course testing real games is the preferable method, but that can only tell you how well a certain piece of hardware runs the stuff that's out there today. You want to buy a graphics card that will be good at future games as well? There's the issue of how you test-- pre-recorded timedemos and built-in benchmark modes have the advantage of perfect repeatability and reliability.

Measuring frame rate over time during actual gameplay is a more accurate representation of the performance you can expect while truly playing games, but it carries with it the fallibility of each test not being exactly like the one before-- variance in performance may be the result of an imperfect tester, rather than true differences in the hardware you're testing.

It's a synthetic benchmark, not a game, but it's made with some very game-like code. The graphics and scenes techniques represent the same kind of stuff games use.

The graphics and tests techniques in 3DMark are meant to represent what we'll see in games over the next year or two, not what's on the market right now. In this, it takes its biggest drawback (that it's not a real game and therefore does not represent real game performance) and turns it into its biggest strength (by using forward-looking graphics techniques it can give some insight into how graphics cards may perform in future games).

Even inexpensive graphics cards run it incredibly well, and many graphics techniques in modern games are beyond what are used in the benchmark. Let's take a closer look at the new tests and scoring methods, and find out what the new version of the industry-standard benchmark means for us.

Introduction:

When the subject of video card performance comes up, the questions that are asked (here lately) are how does it do in 3DMarkXX or how does it do in Crysis? The reasoning is that the Futuremark series gives repeatable results for a valid comparison across platforms and video card manufacturers' products. In the past seven years, Futuremark has released a benchmark roughly every two years, starting in 2001. Of course, we all have used the older benchmarks and have seen scores blossom to unheard of levels as computing technology has improved and scaled much higher. On the other side of the fence, you have the fact that each successive benchmark initially brought the latest video card technology (and later processor tech) to its knees. Guess what things have not changed? The newest from FutureMark is 3DMark Vantage. This benchmark is specifically designed for use with Windows Vista and DirectX 10. What's new with this version of 3Dmark, you ask, besides the obvious? Pretty much everything. There are two new game tests, Jane Nash and New Calico. There are two all new CPU tests that have been designed around a new "Physics and Artificial Intelligence-related computation." CPU test two offers support for physics related hardware. Four preset performance levels that can give a wide array of official scores instead of the one official setting used in the past. These are just some of the new items. Follow along as I take a look at the latest from FutureMark.

The minimum hardware and software requirements and recommendations are:

Processor: Requirement: SSE2 support,  Recommendation: A dual-core processor with performance equivalent to Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, AMD Athlon X2 6000+, or higher

Graphics Card:  Requirement: Fully DirectX10-compliant graphics hardware

Display Device:  Requirement: Capable of 1280x1024 resolution,  Recommendation: Capable of 1920x1200 resolution,  Needed to run all the presets
