3DMark 11
3DMark 11 is the latest offering from Futuremark, taking full advantage of DirectX 11 by utilising tessellation features and volumetric lighting. It takes your graphics and CPU hardware to the edge to simulate the most extreme conditions whilst working as a stand point to compare results with other users online.
Firing up 3DMark 11, the graphical performance was ahead of the MSI and Gigabyte boards and wasn’t to far behind the other A85X boards either. When overclocked the Performance preset saw a nice boost in numbers yet the Extreme preset actually declined in performance slightly.
