Let's see if this performance is carried through to Vantage.

Unlike 3DMark06 Vantage shows GPU specific scores which helps identify performance increase. By looking at the graphs i've provided you can see a more clear indication of performance increases with better and multiple cards.

You can see that the GTX 295 likes Vantage and offers some impressive performance figures. It soundly beats the other cards tested.


Vantage @ 1280.


Vantage @ 1680.


Vantage @ 1920.

All the games (besides one) were run at the highest settings with all available AA and AF settings set to full - only Far Cry was run @ 2xAA to allow playability on the single GTX 260 @ 1920x1200. These cards are designed for top flight gaming so on the whole there's little point in running lower settings.
