Requirements to pass Windows® Vista™ Logo - Graphics
To get Premium/Basic logo, MB must run the designated Microsoft DTM (Driver Test Manager) test. MB must passes all items in DTM in order to get the logo. Of all items, there is one test item named Aero AT (Video Memory Bandwidth) test, which is also the only one that requires graphics figures (such as 1600MB/s, 1800MB/s). In this test item, if the MB gets figures of 1600 MB/s or higher, it gets Premium logo. If MB gets figures lower than 1600 MB/s, it gets Basic logo.
