Futuremark Adds New DirectX 12 Test to 3DMark BenchmarkFuturemark® has released 3DMark® Time Spy, a new DirectX 12 benchmark, available to download now from the Futuremark website and from Steam. "Developed with input from AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA (News - Alert), and the other members of our Benchmark Development Program, 3DMark Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built 'the right way' from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers," said Jani Joki, the Director of Engineering at Futuremark. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, 3DMark Time Spy is the ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards. Thanks to an exclusive sponsorship arrangement with GALAX, a leading graphics card manufacturer, Time Spy is available to run in all Windows editions of 3DMark, including 3DMark Basic Edition and the Steam demo, both of which are free. "DirectX 12 offers a huge leap in performance that will enable new levels of creativity and realism in games and virtual worlds. With the latest high-end graphics cards from GALAX, games can be brought to life with more detail and effects than ever before. GALAX is proud to partner with Futuremark to show gamers around the globe the exciting potential of DirectX 12 with 3DMark Time Spy," said Alex Lam, CEO at Galaxy Microsystems Ltd.
