About 3DMark

The new 3DMark includes everything you need to benchmark your hardware. With three all new tests you can bench everything from smartphones and tablets, to notebooks and home PCs, to the latest high-end, multi-GPU gaming desktops. And it's not just for Windows. With 3DMark you can compare your scores with Android and iOS devices too. It's the most powerful and flexible 3DMark we've ever created.

Like Futuremark's PCMark 8 benchmarking suite, 3DMark is yet another favorite among enthusiasts and reviewers alike. The latest iteration of 3DMark is available in three presets. Being a relatively new benchmark on the market, Futuremark's latest program is more than capable of driving current generation graphics cards to its knees. And it did. As you can see from the results above, there's nothing too special as overclocked settings outperform stock settings. In order, the performance increases here are approximately 12%, 11%, plus a negligible. Fire Strike Extreme is very dependent on your graphics card, which is accurately reflected here.
