After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is a full DirectX 10 compliant synthetic benchmark designed to test the DirectX 10 abilities of your video card. After the benchmark completes you are given a report card of the performance and have the option to submit the results to Futuremark where they can be ranked against others with similar hardware.
The testing was done with the default performance setting for all of the cards to give an idea where each ones stands in the GPU line up.
The factory overclock shows an obvious advantage over the stock card but the real story here is the extreme overclock and 1000+ point gain. Not bad at all.
