DX12 has been with us for quite a while, however there are only a few benchmarks for it. Well, good news everyone as Futuremark has announced a new DX12 benchmark called Time Spy.
Time Spy will feature some classic 3DMark scenes from the past, will support both Async Compute and explicit multi-GPUs, and will take advantage of the the heavy multi-threading capabilities of DX12.
Below you can find its first screenshots, as well as a teaser trailer.
Time Spy will be coming soon to all Windows editions of 3DMark.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Would love to see a tool for Vulkan.
You can check Vulkan perfprmance in DOTA and Talos of Principle. There is a linux site Phronix where you can check linux benchmarks on many different GPUs. Most test are in Vulkan or OpenGL. They also compare Vulkan to different API or different OS. Phronix is a good site for everyone interested in Vulkan or OpenGL
Stop posting that, it in no way represents Vulkan’s true performance. Ironic isn’t it how you are talking down an open source crossplaform API for a locked in close source proprietary API on a monopolistic OS. Also, bear in mind that Vulkan wouldn’t have been without AMD and how AMD killed Mantle to back a proprietary graphics API they even said at one point that DX12 wasn’t coming so they made Mantle, totally backtracking.
This is a real word Vulkan performance on linux site Phronix. You can check this site, its all about Linux, Vulkan and OpenGL.
Yet you continue to ignore what the devs said about Vulkan. Wait for a game that properly does take advantage of Vulkan before making sweeping statements about it.
I try always find newest benchmarks. Real world results.
yes it does “WrATH”. OGL/VULKIN are memes. just a flash in the pan and will never be anything compared to DX12 or any of the other versions of DX. its like comparing amd vs intel/nvidia. 99% of the time amd/vulkan/ogl/old versions of those meme back ends are garabge
Your ignorance is astounding.
What do you expect, he’s Hvd 2.0.
AH yes the Vulkan vs DX 12 and any other DX on a single game link.
lol vulkin / OGL are terrible. cant even compete against dx11, let alone DX12.
“Would love to see a tool for Vulkan.” would love to see a game that actually used vulkan and wasnt just a watered down DX12.
vulkan and linux are memes
Might want to tell Valve and NVIDIA that, since they both support Linux, OpenGL and Vulkan. Also, the CG in movies you watch were probably done using Linux.
Loving the salt.
oh thats cool. This women walks around you during the VR Test/benchmark. I always wondered what benchmark she was from. Clearly it was a bit of a tease.
Those Finnish guys sure always knew how to make impressive looking scenery!
with reused assets from all previous 3d marks…
3dMark is $5 on steam sale! NICE! Time to buy it finally!
Travelling in time is the only way to make DX12 not a flop :D.
Good time to be PC gamer:
1. New cheap and fast DX12 GPU from AMD (29 June)
2. New super fast GTX 1080/1070 from Nvidia with full DX12 support
3. New 3DMark to choose best new DX12 GPU
4. Free Windows 10 Redstone update with UWP platform for AAA games (single shop with cross buy between PC and Xbox, cross save, cross play etc)
5. All new Xbox games on PC with single buy option (Xbox Play Anywhere)
Can’t wait for more DX12 games
List of current and upcoming DX12 games (all MS games are DX12 only):
– Forza Horizon 3
– Forza Motorsport 6 Apex (free)
– future Forza Motorsport 7 (probably 2017 with Xbox Scorpio)
– Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
– Battlefield 1
– Warhammer Total War
– Halo Wars 2
– Quantum Break
– Gears of War 4
– Gears of War Ultimate
– Halo 5 Forge (free)
– future Halo 6 (probably 2017 with Xbox Scorpio)
– Watch Dogs 2
– State of Decay 2
– Scalebound
– Crackdown 3
– Dead Rising 4
– Sea of Thievies
– Recore
– Rise of Tomb Raider
– Hitman
– Ashes of the Singularity
– Star Citizen
– Heroes & Generals
– Ark: Survival Evolved
– King of Wushu
– Survarium
– Descent: Underground
Debatable IMO.
Either way, we’ll know in 2017 IMO; If the Halo 3 Anniversary Edition (Master Chief “Redux” Collection for Xbox Scorpio) also gets a UWP release, Halo 6 will be added to Windows 10 as well. If not, then I highly doubt Win 10 will be getting Halo 6 at launch.
Halo 6 isn’t scheduled for 2017, don’t be ridiculous.
That would be Halo 3 Anniversary.
But why am I trying to argue logic with you…….
P.S. LOL Halo 5 Forge isn’t even a game, you sad, desperate wanna-be.
Nvidia’s do not have full DX12 support neither does AMD. Neither company supports every feature of DX12. And Nvidia still does not properly support Async Compute.
Cool concept of adding samples of their previous benchmarks within the new benchmark.
dafuq.. even benchmark demo need female desexualization? covered face fully body cover? are females really that insecure of themselves are we?
FFS.
