3DMark 11
3DMark 11 is the latest version of this hugely popular synthetic benchmark. Making use of DX11 features such as tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading, it provides modern-day results and is available as a free download.
Hitting almost 4,000 marks in the 3DMark 11 Extreme test, the ROG MARS II tops the charts. Newer drivers add around five per cent extra performance, but there's little doubt this is the fastest card in the line-up.
