Check the first public showing of the new 3DMark tech demo. Fortunately, we have now put an HD trailer up on YouTube for everyone to enjoy.

The next 3DMark for Windows will be the world's first unified graphics benchmark allowing testing of DirectX 9, DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 capable hardware through the DirectX 11 API. This is a big change from previous 3DMarks and one that we are very excited about.

Secondly, the new 3DMark will be compatible with Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. As a result, we are dropping the "3DMark for Windows 8" working title and instead referring to the new benchmark as 3DMark for Windows, or simply the next 3DMark, though these are working titles too.

Here's the first screenshot of the benchmark (click to enlarge):
