3DMark Vantage includes a number of different tests for 3D graphics processors that allow you to measure the true performance gaming computers already in existence on the market, and future models.Since 3DMark Vantage should only use hardware support for DirectX 10, for his work will need to install one of the options for the operating system Windows Vista (server-side solutions are not supported).

DirectX10 Benchmarking
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.

3DMark Vantage is the latest and hottest version of the very popular 3DMark series. By combining full DirectX 10.0 support including SM4.0, Geometry Shaders, new CPU and PPU tests and more, 3DMark Vantage rewrites the legacy of being industry standard benchmark.

A key new feature in 3DMark Vantage is the rendering option Presets. These pre-selected combinations of rendering option settings, like resolution, anti-aliasing and texture quality, represent different, successively more advanced levels of visual quality. When running 3DMark Vantage with one of the presets selected, the benchmark produces an official score for that preset. Instead of the single default setting of previous 3DMarks, there are four Presets available for Entry, Performance, High and Extreme visual quality.
