Futuremark Releases Trailer For 3DMark Time Spy DirectX 12 Benchmark

Futuremark has released the first official trailer and screenshots from 3DMark Time Spy, their latest DirectX 12 benchmark test. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, built from the ground up to support new features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is said to be the perfect benchmark for testing DirectX 12 API performance.

Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test, coming soon to all Windows editions of 3DMark. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, built from the ground up to support new features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, TimeSpy is the ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards. Developed with input from AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and the other members of the Futuremark Benchmark Development Program, Time Spy shows the exciting potential of low-level, low-overhead APIs like DirectX 12.

You can watch about 53 seconds of actual footage from the benchmark in the teaser trailer below!

The trailer is pretty neat as it looks like Futuremark has used scenes from previous versions of 3DMark in the benchmark. The benchmark also looks impressive and is certainly one of the better looking benchmarks ever included in the 3DMark benchmark utility.
