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.

What was it NVIDIA said? Ah yes, the new 448-core part is up to 15 per cent faster than a GTX 560 Ti, and only five per cent slower than a GTX 570.

Those claims are almost spot on - the GTX 560 Ti 448 is actually 19 per cent faster than a standard GTX 560 Ti according to 3DMark 11 - and, as expected, we can see that NVIDIA's latest effort has more in common with the GTX 570 than its name suggests.
