3DMark 11 is designed for testing DirectX 11 hardware running on Windows 7 and Windows Vista the benchmark includes six all new benchmark tests that make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. After running the tests 3DMark gives your system a score with larger numbers indicating better performance.

Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.If you want to learn more about this benchmark, or to buy it yourself, head over to this page.

A detailed breakdown is available here.

The Graphics score in 3DMark 11 seemed odd at first until it became clear the benchmark kept using the Intel HD Graphics 4600 chipset instead of the Gigabyte GTX 770. Even after we manually assigned the application to the GTX 770 through the Nvidia Control Panel the issue remained.

However, we are including the results here as the system shows a strong Physics score, coming in at 6986 points. In recent times we have seen systems carrying Intel Core i5-4670k's scores around 7500 points, indicating the i5-4570 can hold its own.
