DX12: 3DMark Time Spy (2016)

DX12: 3DMark Time Spy

Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test, available as DLC right now on Steam and to all Windows editions of 3DMark. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, built from the ground up to support new features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards. Developed with input from AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and the other members of the Futuremark Benchmark Development Program, Time Spy shows the exciting potential of low-level, low-overhead APIs like DirectX 12.

All benchmarks will be performed at the default modus. However, I wanted to show you the performance differences between the silent/default/OC modes, ergo on this page, we start with Time Spy, showing you the difference between the BIOS modes. Basically, all PowerColor does, is tweak that power limiter. The results are really not that far away from each other.
