3DMark 11 is the latest version of the world’s most popular benchmark. Designed to measure your PC’s gaming performance 3DMark 11 makes extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to consistently and reliably test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.
Unfortunately this benchmark looked like a step too far for this low power APU as every benchmark ran with a low framerate and took several minutes to complete – still, this benchmark is designed to test demanding Direct X 11 performance. When we added the discrete graphics card into the equation, we noticed the framerate increased significantly, mirrored by the results.
