GPU Performance
3DMark
3DMark Firestrike is Futuremark’s latest creation for testing the GPU performance of high end gaming PCs using Direct X 11 graphics. You can download a free basic version of 3DMark here.
In 3DMark the Z97S SLI PLUS lingered towards the back again; this correlates with its slightly lower CPU performance. It’s all margin of error though: you can’t really perceive this tiny deficit in the real world.
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider is a popular action-adventure video game published by Square Enix based on the Tomb Raider franchise. The game was released in 2013 and as of March 2014 had sold 6 million copies.
In Tomb Raider it reversed the trend and came towards the top.
Bioshock Infinite
Bioshock Infinite is a first person shooter developed by Irrational Games that is the third instalment of the Bioshock series. The game is the last to be produced by Irrational Games before they announced their closure in February 2014. The game has sold over 4 million copies since its 2013 release.
Back into Bioshock and it’s fallen to the bottom again. Although in all honesty there’s less than a single frame per second in it at 1080p.
