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.
In the HD 4000 range, we can see that we have a boost in performance in both Extreme and Performance. We can see that the HD 3870, on the other hand, doesnt benefit from the same performance improvements.
