3DMark 11 Performance

Synthetic DirectX Gaming


Futuremark 3DMark11

The latest version of Futuremark's synthetic 3D gaming benchmark, 3DMark11, is specifically bound to Windows Vista and WIndows 7-based systems due to its DirectX 11 requirement, which isn't available on previous versions of Windows. 3DMark11 isn't simply a port of 3DMark Vantage to DirectX 11, though. With this latest version of the benchmark, Futuremark has incorporated four new graphics tests, a physics tests, and a new combined test. We tested the graphics cards here with 3DMark11's Extreme preset option, which uses a resolution of 1920x1080 with 4x anti-aliasing and 16x anisotropic filtering.


3DMark 11 paints essentially the same picture as Unigine Heaven from the previous page. The GeForce GTX 690 simply decimates everything in 3DMark 11. It's almost funny to see those short, little bars for relatively powerful graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 580 and Radeon HD 7950.
