DX11: 3DMark 11
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 requirements:
- 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: 1.8 GHz 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

- This test runs at a fixed resolution regardless of the chosen preset
We test 3DMark 11 in performance mode which will give is 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.
We test and review the PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 SCS3 today. This stock clocked Radeon HD 7850 is cooled passively, meaning it has no fans tool it down. That also means it's rather silent as it does not make any noise. But what about temperatures then you must be wondering ?
