3DMark Vantage
Making an appearance when evaluating new architectures, we run the 'high' preset and note the GPU score as well as Test 4, which includes extensive use of the GPU's stream-out function and vertex and geometry shading ability. It's not lost on us that 3DMark11 has been launched at the same time as this review.
3DMark Vantage has always run very well on NVIDIA 5-series hardware, and the GTX 560 Ti is no exception. Rolling through the numbers with the GPU score taken into account, here's how it stacks up against our trio.
| GTX 560 comparo (GPU score) | GTX 460 | HD 6870 | HD 6950 |
| Faster/slower (per cent) | +38 | +23.1 | +1.8 |
