For those who missed it, Futuremark released their latest 3DMark – simply called ‘3DMark'. Yesterday the company launched the PC version, although there will be versions for Android, iOS and Windows RT released in the near future.

In their press release the company say “The new 3DMark includes everything you need to benchmark Windows hardware. With three all new tests you can bench everything from tablets and notebooks to the latest high-end gaming desktops. It's the most powerful and flexible 3DMark we've ever created.

We designed 3DMark for gamers, overclockers and system builders who want to get the most out of their hardware. 3DMark is a complete PC benchmarking tool kit for those who are serious about performance. And it's no longer just for Windows. With 3DMark, you will be able to compare scores with Android, iOS and Windows RT devices too.”
