Eventually got around to caring about this benchmark. It is ugly that, I'll give it. In fact it could be the worst looking (form an art perspective mostly) in the series. Hard to believe FM spent 3 years in hinding only to come up with this I'm glad they don't make games.
True. If there was a game that looked like that most folk would think it's from 2002 or somewhere there. The only goof thing about it is that its shorter than 3DMark06 but other than that its a waste of time. Rather use the older ones, but the best always is in game benchmarks.
well Vantage should be useful for highend systems since 2006 reaches a type of plateau at 13K+ scores. They tried making it pretty, but failed, but it should still be functional as a benchmark at least.
