Gigabyte & MSI GeForce GTX 560 Launch Review - PAGE 6

3DMark Vantage is the stunning sequel to 3DMark 06. Futuremark's benchmarking programs have always been at the center of every bragging match. The best way to show that you've got the greatest gaming rig, is to show that you've got the highest 3DMark score. Vantage does just that. It puts your system through a series of strenuous tests, and provides you with a score to brag about!

In our first synthetic benchmark both the MSI and Gigabyte GTX 560 graphics cards performed very well. At stock they were both able to achieve a higher score than the similarly priced HD 6870, and once overclocked the performance fell between two of AMD's high-end models.
