PCMark Vantage is the latest benchmarking suite from Futuremark. Differing significantly from their 3DMark suites, PCMark performs a series of benchmarks designed to recreate and benchmark scenarios of a PC being used for everyday tasks. Vantage has a Vista only requirement as it actually relies on several different components from the OS in order to run correctly.

Results Observations
Looking across the range of results from our Futuremark programs, the machine puts up a tough fight once again. The system should be a good all round performer with the only test on PCMark Vantage dropping below 5000 points, and excelling at the games test thanks to it’s GTX 295. The most impressive figures, in my opinion at least, have to be the 3DMark06 results. The system manageing to maintain a more than helthy 20k+ score even at 1900×1200. The only place the computer slips a little is the extreme test on Vantage, but I’m sure it can be forgiven for that eith it being the most testing benchmark on the page.
