After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

3DMark Vantage
3DMark Vantage is a full DirectX 10 compliant synthetic benchmark. It tests out all of the DirectX 10 abilities of each card to give the user an idea of where they rank with their graphic card in a collective pool of many users all over the internet.
The testing was done with the default performance setting for all of the cards to give an idea where each ones stands in the GPU line up.
3DMark Vantage is not always a good judge of overall performance but is usually a good starting point. The GTS 450's performance is slightly ahead of its primary competitor, the Radeon HD 5750 and well ahead of the card it is replacing, the GTS 250.
This is exactly where NVidia wants it.
