3DMark - Time Spy

Homepage: futuremark.com | Publisher: Futuremark | Download: Free basic edition

Rendered at a 2,560x1,440 QHD resolution and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a forward-looking 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in various upcoming games.

There are a glut of cards all occupying the 4,300-4,600-mark range in this test. We expected to see marginal gains by going to faster memory and that is exactly how it transpires. What's already clear here is that the asking fee is significantly more than it should be.

On a brighter note, the Asus card produces the most consistent performance we have ever seen.
