Designed to measure your PC’s gaming performance 3DMark 11 makes extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to consistently and reliably test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.
The latest version of 3DMark was run on both Performance and Extreme presets with only the benchmarking runs being performed. Each run was performed 3 times and the average results are presented below.
Overclocking the CPUs provides a small boost when the graphics card is not bottlenecked, but on the extreme preset where the GPU is being tested, we see little or no improvement in overall score.
3DMark 11 is about as close to real world performance as a synthetic benchmark can be, and although it primarily focuses on graphics performance, the FX-8150 slightly outperforms the 1100T here in the overall scores.
