3DMark
 |
3DMark 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.
Our sample card ignores the prescribed GPU boost speed and settles on running at 1,380MHz when gaming. Such speed translates to the highest single-GPU score ever.
The older 3DMark is worth running for academic purposes of confirming how well the memory-compression technology works on these 900-series cards. We know this because the colour fill rate, previously held back by bandwidth, is so impressive.
