Gaming Benchmarks: 3DMark Vantage, 3DMark 06
3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test
the DirectX10 performance of your graphics card. We’ve been making 3DMark for
over 10 years, with each new edition using the latest 3D technology to determine
real-world performance. A 3DMark score is an overall measure of your system’s 3D
gaming capabilities, based on comprehensive real-time 3D graphics and processor
tests. By comparing your score with those submitted by millions of other gamers
you can see how your gaming rig performs, making it easier to choose the most
effective upgrades or finding other ways to optimize your system.
Higher results are better.

3DMark08
Vantage scales to four or eight threads, so the Core i7's hyperthreading nets it
a gigantic CPU score, which lets it take the overall performance advantage away
from the Phenom II X4 955 BE processor.
3DMark06
is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game performance benchmarking. A
fundamental tool for every company in the PC industry as well as PC users and
gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D game workloads to measure PC
performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics tests, CPU tests, and 3D
feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0 graphics tests, SM2.0
graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple cores or processor CPU
tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to reliably measure next
generation gaming performance today.
Higher
