So, we're running 3D Mark Vantage. This is a performance testing application if
0:04
you're not already familiar with it. This gives us some idea of how the
0:09
system performs in DirectX11 games versus other systems. So, what you can
0:14
do is you or or your friends can run 3D Mark Vantage and then you can take the
0:19
score you get at the end and you can compare it against the Vesta i3 3050. So
0:24
that gives you some point of comparison for, you know, what your older system
0:28
runs compared to what you can get for 900 bucks with a new system. So it's not
0:33
a perfect application, but it gives you at least some baseline. And you can
0:38
actually see here on the screen, it's running pretty smooth. This is the new
0:41
Calico demo. We're going through the ship. It's kind of cool to watch,
0:45
especially if you've never seen it before. And uh yeah, we'll we'll be back
0:49
as soon as we have some more performance results for you.
0:53
So, we finished running our benchmark on the Vesta i33050. We got over 14,000 3D
0:58
marks. And this is a synthetic benchmark. It doesn't give us a perfect
1:02
indication of system performance. Uh, one thing that you will notice about
1:06
this benchmark is that it skews the results heavily in favor of multi-core
1:12
processors. So, we do only have a dual core, but it's not nearly as much of a
1:16
disadvantage in real games as it might make it out to be to use a synthetic
1:20
benchmark. Now, we do have the performance package which will score a lot better due to its quad core and dual
1:25
video cards. But really, this puts together a very respectable showing
1:29
given the price point. And uh I mean
1:33
really what you can do is if you have a dual core or if you have an older
1:36
system, you can run 3D Mark Vantage. Have a look at what kind of score you
1:40
get both for the GPU and for the CPU and it gives you a comparison of what a
1:43
modern system can do compared to an older PC. Thanks for checking out our
1:48
video on the Vesta i33050.
