NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 SLI versus ATI Radeon HD 5770 CrossFire

3DMark Vantage

3DMark Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware. 3DMark Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.

The Extreme settings were used for testing, so a resolution of 1920×1200 was used.

Benchmark Results: ATI has always done great on 3DMark Vantage and was able to take the lead in both single and multi-GPU setups even though the SLI configuration scaled 5% better.
