We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASRock, Kingston, Western Digital, Noctua and Thermaltake.

Today we'll be comparing the MSI GTX 460 768MB Cyclone against a number of other cards which include the Galaxy GTX 465 and Gainward GTX 470 Golden Sample from the NVIDIA side. On the ATI side we've included both the HD 5850 and HD 5830.

Let's get started!

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.

Thanks to the overclock here we're able to see that performance is stronger than the GTX 465 which is a higher model than this one. We can also see that compared to the HD 5830 performance is also very strong.
