Today Futuremark released their DirectX 11 benchmarking tool, 3DMark 11, which promises to punish even the most high-end hardware.
ChipLoco: Here it is folks, the performance leak of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 by a member on ChipHell Forums. The member claims that its a factory overclocked variant of GTX 760. The GPU-Z posted by the forum is similar to the one that was leaked on ChipHell Forums earlier, which means that the specifications in our earlier report was that of an overclocked variant. Unfortunately, the user only posted NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 3DMark 11 performance scores but they are enough to compare them with that of GeForce GTX 670

This new version of 3D Mark 2011 is compatible and comparable with results produced by earlier versions and you can download it from its official website."
3DMark 11 is the next installment for Futuremark in the 3DMark series, with Vantage as its predecessor. The name implies that this benchmark is for Microsoft DirectX 11, and with an unintended coincidence, the name matches the upcoming date in number (which was the naming scheme to some prior versions of 3DMark nonetheless). 3DMark 11 is designed solely for DirectX 11, so Windows Vista or 7 are required along with a DirectX 11 graphics card in order to run this test.
