Futuremark published the 3DMark Vantage 1.1.0 update, it offers a couple of minor reporting and configuration changes. The biggest change however is that the Basic Edition of 3DMark Vantage is now available for free. Previously, you had to pay $6.95 to use its functionality.

Display scaling is added to improve display compatibility. By default a PhysX processor won't accelerate CPU tests. The Futuremark SystemInfo component is updated to detect the latest hardware, such as CPUs, GPUs, etc. The entire application is recompiled on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. An expert developer we spoke to doesn't believe it brings about any change. 3DMark Vantage is a comprehensive 3D graphics hardware benchmarking suite that uses DirectX 10 API.
