3DMark11
3DMark 11 is a DirectX 11 video card benchmark test for Windows that is designed to measure your PC’s gaming performance. 3DMark 11 makes extensive use of DirectX 11 features including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. Download here.
3DMark11 showed a significant jump of almost 30% – very impressive numbers indeed.

The new 3DMark includes everything you need to benchmark your hardware. With three all new tests you can bench everything from smartphones and tablets, to notebooks and home PCs, to the latest high-end, multi-GPU gaming desktops. Download here.
Into 3DMark and we saw a similarly high boost of about 25% which bodes well for gaming.

Game scaling perhaps wasn’t as impressive as 3DMark led me to believe it would be. Scaling was typically 10% or less and it’s easy to see that most games scale more from making the jump from 1866MHz RAM to 2400MHz RAM than they do from having a 720MHz to 1028MHz overclock – which to me does seem a bit strange but is easily explained. It would imply that the APU is still memory bandwidth limited at 2400MHz so overclocking makes little difference, this also explains why compute applications scale so well because they are not that bandwidth dependent and can take advantage of the increased GPU clock speed.
