The test uses Build 23 version and Radeon HD 3850 512MB Crossfire. From pictures below, we can see that 3 DMARK Vantage Build 23 full installations require 665.25 MB disk space. Now 3 DMARK Vantage Build 23 includes Game Test1 Test, the name is Jane Nash, Game Test 2, the name is New Calico, and CPU Test1, the name is AI, and CPU Test2, the name is Physics, these two test CPU’s AI and physics acceleration performance.

yup, Vantage products are Vista only

They do? Makes sense I guess...

I can also guess 3DMark Vantage will also be Windows Vista only, since it requires DX10.1...

well, they do have access to early silicon from ATI/NVIDIA

Oops, had thought this was about PCMark Vantage, almost missed the distinction.

If two 3850's in Xfire doesn't run well and the 8800GTX isn't compatible with one main test, then I guess Futurmark is taking a more future proof stance by making the next 3DMark more stressful than usual?

I wonder if that says anything about G100... Futuremark obviously already knew about the 8800GS far in advance to have coded support for it into 3DMark06 v1.10, so the same would almost assuredly be true for the high-end next generation cards and the next generation 3DMark.
