3DMark Fire Strike – DirectX 11 Benchmark Test Showcased


Futuremark has released a new trailer for its upcoming benchmark tool, 3D Mark. Fire Strike is the company’s new showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for high-performance gaming PCs. As described, Fire Strike is their most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what you can find in other benchmarks and games today.
The 3DMark Fire Strike trailer shows a short segment taken from the Fire Strike demo using the Extreme preset and rendered natively at 2560×1440 resolution.
Some of the techniques used include tessellation, dynamic particle illumination and shadowing, smoke simulation using grid-based fluid dynamics, volume ray casting with shadows and a wide variety of post processing effects including depth of field, blooms, distortions and various lens effects.
3D Mark is planned for release by the end of this year.
Enjoy!
