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.

If you're running Vista and interested in gaming why wouldn't you upgrade to Windows 10 while it's free? DX12 won't ever be back ported, so in the medium to long term you'll find more and more games you can't play.

You misunderstood what he said. He's saying he didn't upgrade to Vista until a year after it's release.

While I see some unnecessary fighting here,I hope that at least this benchmark shows benefits of DX12.
Because till now we really did not see anything impressive. DX12 in AoS helps, but considering what's actually on screen, game performs poorly.
DX12 in UE4 shows no practical benefit over DX11. That's reason why ARK: SE still sits on DX11.
