FutureMark shows first footage 3DMark DirectX 12 (video)
With DirectX 12 available on Windows 10 it's just a matter of time before everybody jumps onto it. Not just the hardware and games, the test slash benchmark softwares will adapt as well.
Futuremark has been hard at work to up-date their 3DMark benchmark software. More information & screenshots after the break.
During a presentation Futuremark at GOC in Asia they have showed the first footage of the new version that is DX 12 enabled. The presentation is an early beta from the looks of it. Pasi Virtanen from Futuremark mentioned that the new version of 3DMark will get two GPU and one CPU test, one of the names would be Time Spy. Above you can watch shaky video cam footage, below somewhat better captures taken at the event. You'll have to wait a bit longer as the release is 'somewhere' in 2016.
We can't wait to see what FutureMark comes up with, in fact we surely need DX12 test software now.

Probably.
Considering I see Nvidia's logo on top of the shots, I reckon it features the absolute minimum amounts of async compute. Nvidia probably paid them millions to code their tests like that, to make it worth it. So, until the next generation of Nvidia GPUs that should have the flaw fixed, I reckon it tests only some of the features.

That's a GOC sponsored event by Nvidia, the logo does not fall into the projection yet is embedded on the casing - it has nothing to do with 3DMark.

Wow, a single little nvidia logo and the conspiracy is coming up. Nobody mentioned the 'Galax' writing there? It was even bigger. Probably they will make the benchmark run better on Galax cards (with reading out the bios vendor ID).
I wonder if running future mark or any other benchmark program for dx12 will show so much understatement of the topic... as dx12 offers more possibilities, it will load those possibilities onto the devs... and they will most likely not be as thourough to use all the modern GPU's capabilities in all games.
As we might see many games that aren't even remotely as optimized as this futuremark, will it make sense to chose GPUs / systems after such benchmarks in the dx12 era? Performance can and will differ noticable from in game performance.

Async compute isn't a DX12 feature.
