Benchmarks - 3DMark 11
3DMark 11 is the latest version of this hugely popular synthetic benchmark. Making use of DX11 features such as tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading, it provides modern-day results and is available as a free download.
As mentioned on the system setup page, the latest WHQL NVIDIA drivers provide a near-10 per cent boost in this synthetic benchmark. A score of 2,000 on the Extreme setting intimates that the card will, generally speaking, do well with DX11 games and tests.
The GTX 570 SO is 11.5 per cent faster than a stock-clocked card, as well.
