3DMark 11 - DirectX 11 performance
3DMark 11 is the latest version of what probably is the most popular graphics card benchmark series. Designed to measure your PCs gaming performance 3DMark 11 makes extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to consistently and reliably test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.
These will be the requirments:
- 3DMark 11 requires: DirectX 11, a DirectX 11 compatible video card, and Windows Vista or Windows 7.
- OS: Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Processor: 1.8GHz dual-core Intel or AMD CPU
- Memory: 1 GB of system memoryGraphics: DirectX 11 compatible graphics card
- Hard drive space: 1.5 GB
- Audio: Windows Vista / Windows 7 compatible sound card
Graphics Test 1
- Based on the Deep Sea scene
- No tessellation
- Heavy lighting with several shadow casting lights
Graphics Test 2
- Based on the Deep Sea scene
- Medium tessellation
- Medium lighting with few shadow casting lights
Graphics Test 3
- Based on the High Temple scene
- Medium tessellation
- One shadow casting light
Graphics Test 4
- Based on the High Temple scene
- Heavy tessellation
- Many shadow casting lights
Physics Test
- Rigid body physics simulation with a large number of objects
- This test runs at a fixed resolution regardless of the chosen preset
We test 3DMark 11 in performance mode which will give us a good indication of graphics card performance in the low, mid-range and high end graphics card segment. The application is DirectX 11, meaning only so many cards are compatible. Here's a first selection.
Point of View Protab 2 XXL Tablet review
Today a review on the ProTAB 2 XXL 10" tablet from Point of View from their Mobi range. With a price of only 169,- EUR the specs are decent enough alright. Interesting enough for graphics, the ProTab2XXL also comes with an additional MALI-400 3D graphics chip. Now we never heard of it before tbh, and very little can found about it on the web. But we can certainly measure it's performance and it does allow for FullHD playback. The Mali graphics chip even allows to drive a mini HDMI v1.4 port.
Point of View GTX 570 TGT Ultra Charged review
Today's offering is of course a GTX 570, we nicked it out of the Eindhoven warehouse from the good people at Point of View. See, their TGT team is chunking out several new SKUs based on the GTX 570. Today we'll have a peek at their Ultra Charged model. The UC version is a guaranteed stable factory overclocked product that is overclocked towards a pretty impressive value. See, the default core clock frequency of the GTX 570 is 732 MHz, the TC version is clocked at a blistering 810 MHz, which is a pretty decent overclock. Memory wise spot an increased clock frequency on that 1.2 GB GDDR5 memory as well, taken from 3800 towards 3960 MHz.
Point of View Ion 330 motherboard review
We test an ION 330 based motherboard - ION is a relatively low cost GPU assisted solution that will allow this industry on very short notice to have netbooks with full HD playback quality, in multi-channel HD audio. A solution that even supports CUDA and therefore some simple PhysX functionality, but since it's CUDA compatible, it'll also allow encoding and acceleration of popular video content. A platform that supports Gigabit Ethernet, dual-link DVI (high resolution monitors), acceleration in Photoshop CS4 and heck... you can even play a couple of games or make a mini HTPC out of it, it's just really interesting as the product might be little, yet offers a lot.
GeForce 9600 GSO 384 MB review | Point of View
NVIDIA replaced the GeForce 8800 GS with the GeForce 9600 GSO. The 9600 GSO is still based on the same G92 core with 96 stream processors that the 8800 GS has, but NVIDIA gave card makers a bit more freedom in their designs in terms of own PCB design to and determine their own clocks. This 'old' card will still have 384 MB of GDDR3 memory over a weird 192-bit memory interface. Cards like these will sell for less than 99 Euro, and considering the performance you get returned for that, you'll love it.
