After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is a full DirectX 10 compliant synthetic benchmark. It tests out all of the DirectX 10 abilities of each card to give the user an idea of where they rank with their graphic card in a collective pool of many users all over the internet.
The testing was done with the default performance setting for all of the cards to give an idea where each ones stands in the GPU line up.
Being factory overclocked, Gigabyte's GTS 450 showed that it is indeed faster than the reference design in 3DMark Vantage. Not by any means close to higher end cards, but we did see an increase in performance nonetheless. This increase should carry over to real world gaming situations as well.
