PCMark Vantage
PCMark® Vantage is the first objective hardware performance benchmark for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft® Windows Vista®. PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Microsoft® Windows Vista PC from multimedia home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and hi-end gaming rigs. Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware. PCMark Vantage is easy enough for even the most casual enthusiast to use yet supports in-depth, professional industry grade testing.
Part of PCMark Vantages test is a gaming suite, which tests all of your components in a gaming situation. Since this is a video card review, we only care about the results received when the video card was being used which was in Gaming test 1 and 4. The frame rates received when using the single card were 33.02 and 27.86 frames per seconds. But when we enabled SLI, we received the lower frame rate of 31.87 and 26.43 frames per seconds.
