Futuremark 3DMark Vantage

We minimize the CPU’s influence by using the Extreme profile (1920x1200, 4x FSAA and anisotropic filtering). We also publish the results of the individual tests across all display resolutions to provide a full picture.

The GeForce GTX 295 is unrivalled in 3DMark Vantage due to its software PhysX support. But without this feature, the difference between the GeForce GTX 295 and Radeon HD 4890 CrossFire is not too big in the GPU tests.

Alas, 3DMark Vantage does not run well on the Radeon HD 4870 X2 because the current official version of Catalyst (9.4) has problems with this benchmark. Every dual-processor solution from ATI, including a Radeon HD 4850 X2, shows visual artifacts here that look like that:

The root of the problem is unclear, but AMD is working on that. Discrete CrossFireX tandems are not affected.
