3DMark Vantage will have four versions totally

3DMark Vantage of course will have a trail version for us, but FutureMark is going to release another three different paid versions of 3DMark Vantage:
The basic 3DMark Vantage (Basic Edition is what they called)Â will be only 6.95USD, it will be licensed for non-commercial and personal use only, functions include unlimited number of test runs using a single Preset setting, network connection required to view results. (It seems FuturMark really want to bind 3DMark users to their ORB.)
A advance Edition will cost you 19.95USD, also licensed for non-commercial and personal use only, but testing runs can choose different persets or custom setthings.
Of course, a expensive Professional Edition will cost 495, almost the same amount of money when you purchase 3DMark06. This version can view results without network connection and have scripting functions, let users using command lines scripting to make a automatic benchmark.

This thing is a joke, it appears bug ridden, and you can’t even access their website to get the stupid “trial” key that is also required apparently.
