3DMark Vantage GPU Tests
3DMark Vantage GPU Test: Jane Nash
Of the two GPU tests 3DMark Vantage offers, the Jane Nash performance benchmark is slightly less demanding. In a short video scene the special agent escapes a secret lair by water, nearly losing her shirt in the process. Benchmark Reviews tests this DirectX-10 scene at 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 resolutions, and uses Extreme quality settings with 8x anti-aliasing and 16x anisotropic filtering. The 1:2 scale is utilized, and is the highest this test allows. By maximizing the processing levels of this test, the scene creates the highest level of graphical demand possible and sorts the strong from the weak
3DMark Vantage GPU Test: New Calico
Test Summary: GeForce GTX480 improves upon the GTX285 by nearly 61% at 1920x1200, and outperforms the Radeon HD5870 by 10%. The recent 1.02 version update and fresh Forceware/Catalyst drivers do not appear to effect 3dMark Vantage, and results indicate that this is still a balanced tool for measuring DX10 graphics performance
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Test Summary: BF:BC2 shows consideration for NVIDIA GeForce products old and new, and the Frostbite-1.5 game engine tends to be partial to NVIDIA products over ATI. In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the GeForce GTX480 improves upon the GTX285 by nearly 59% while beating the ATI Radeon HD5870 by 23%. Additionally, only 9 FPS separate the GTX480 and the dual-GPU Radeon HD5970.
BattleForge Performance
Test Summary: With an unbiased appetite for raw DirectX-11 graphics performance, BattleForge appears to be ambiguous towards ATI and NVIDIA products. When high-strain SSAO is called into action, NVIDIA's GTX480 demonstrates how well Fermi is suited for DX11... improving upon the GeForce GTX285 by nearly 249%. While trumping ATI's best single-GPU Radeon HD5870 by 61% is an impressive feat all by itself, outperforming a dual-GPU Radeon HD5970 by 11% is incredible by

Crysis Warhead Tests
Test Summary: The CryENGINE2 graphics engine used in Crysis Warhead responds well to both ATI and NVIDIA products, with test results appearing identical to 3dMark Vantage. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 improves upon the GTX285 by 57%, and also beats the ATI Radeon HD5870 by 22%. With 33 FPS at 1920x1200, the GTX480 is a mere 6 FPS away from the dual-GPU ATI Radeon HD5970
Far Cry 2 Benchmark
Test Summary: The Dunia game engine appears preferential to NVIDIA products over ATI, and if you're one of the many gamers who like to play Far Cry 2 perhaps you should prefer them too. The new NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 improves over the past-generation GeForce GTX285 by nearly 76%, and beats the Radeon HD5870 by over 50%. The surprise here is a measured benefit of 2 FPS for the single GF100 graphics card over dual-GPUs in the Radeon HD5970.
Resident Evil 5 Tests
Test Summary: It's unclear if Resident Evil 5 graphics performance fancies ATI or NVIDIA, especially with two test scenes that alternate favoritism. Although this benchmark tool is distributed directly from NVIDIA, and Forceware drivers likely have optimizations written for the Resident Evil 5 game, there doesn't appear to be any decisive tilt towards GeForce products over Radeon counterparts from within the game itself. Test scene #3 certainly favors the GeForce GTX480, and leads it ahead of every other product tested. In test scene #4, the GTX480 scores 118 FPS compared to only 81 with the past-generation GTX285, or 97 FPS from the Radeon HD5870
Unigine Heaven Benchmark
Test Summary: NVIDIA has been keen to promote the Unigine Heaven benchmark tool, as it appears to deliver a fair comparison of DirectX-11 test results. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 clears past the Radeon HD5870 by 25%, and trails the dual-GPU Radeon HD5970 by a mere 10 FPS. Reviewers like to say "Nobody plays a benchmark", but it seems evident that we can expect to see great things come from a tool this detailed. For now though, those details only come by way of DirectX-11 video cards'
