3DMark Vantage
Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7.
3DMark Vantage is the industry standard performance benchmark for DirectX 10 gaming PCs. It includes two graphics tests, two CPU tests and six feature tests. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark Vantage is the best way to consistently and reliably test DirectX 10 under game-like loads.
3DMark Vantage utilises a mixture of CPU and GPU and with the Edge HD2 only having an Atom/ION based solution, we knew the results wouldn’t be fantastic due to 3DMark Vantage being aimed more towards gaming, which this PC isn’t for.
Did you look at the Mini PC in terms of video playback. This type of PC is the perfect size to be used as a Windows Media Center Playback device. Will it play back 1080P video for instance.
Yes, we did mention it slightly as PCMark does utilise the playback of video and it scored quite low, and in the conclusion we mentioned that HD playback was terrible and very jittery.
Thanks, I must have missed that as I was skimming the article. I guess I was just being lazy and looking for a separate tab for video playback.
Great review, original nail polish on the box as well lol
eh? You’ve lost me, nail polish?
