AMD Radeon HD 6790 1GB Video Card Review

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: The AMD Radeon HD 6790 showed that it was faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550-Ti in 3DMark Vantage with the Extreme settings enabled. Futuremark 3DMark Vantage showed the Radeon HD 6790 was 17% faster than the Radeon HD 5770.
