ATI Radeon HD 5830 Review
3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test the DirectX10 performance of your graphics card. It is the latest addition to the 3DMark series. As it is a DX10-only benchmark, it only runs on Windows Vista and Windows 7. 3DMark Vantage is composed of four full-bore benchmarking tests (2 CPU tests and 2 GPU tests) and 6 feature tests. This test makes good use of multi-core CPUs and can even use Nvidia’s PhysX technology on its GeForce line-up of video cards.
Again we see the newer card taking control of the benchmarks right away. In any case, synthetic benchmarks do give a good idea of overall performance but they don’t usually tell the whole story. To do that we need to run some real-world game benches.
Very good job Leon…
Thanks a lot. Glad to be able to bring it to you. =)
Nice review, Leon. I really like the style and the in-depth coverage. Keep it up (interesting how this review in particular shows it to really beat the 4870.. perhaps 10.3 drivers really did help the 5830?)..
