3DMark Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today's high-performance gaming PCs. It is our [FutureMark's] most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.
The ASUS ROG STRIX A8G GTX 1080 makes a strong start in the 3DMark tests. Our comparison charts put it almost level with Gigabyte's factory-overclocked GTX 1080 G1 Gaming, both of which are a notable improvement over the reference-clocked GTX 1080 Founder's Edition.
If you want better performance numbers from a current-gen card, the £1099 Titan X Pascal is the only option that will provide a tangible performance up-tick for 3DMark.
