3DMark 11 is the latest version of the world’s most popular benchmark. 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.
3DMark 11 was released at the end of last year and needs little introduction. For the test settings the Extreme preset is run with 'benchmark only' being selected.
The first test of what we could consider gaming performance holds one main surprise, which is the performance of the P8P67; the P8P67 tops the chart with the overclock and then at stock, with the Foxconn and ECS high end offerings a short way behind, separated quite closely for this test.
All of the tests are relatively close, suggesting the test is certainly putting the GTX 460 to work. The ASUS would appear to make the best job of bringing the Nvidia card and Intel CPU together here.
