3DMark Time Spy DirectX 12 benchmark is now available

Futuremark has added Time Spy to its 3DMark benchmark suite. This is a new synthetic DirectX 12 benchmark for Windows 10 PCs, it renders at a 2560 x 1440 pixels resolution and is significantly more hardware-intensive then the Fire Strike benchmark. Among other things, one of the interesting things about Time Spy is that it allows you to benchmark with asynchronous compute disabled.

Time Spy is a showcase DirectX 12 benchmark test, for high performance gaming PCs running Windows 10. It uses DirectX 12 feature level 11_0 leveraging the most significant performance benefits of the DirectX 12 API while ensuring wide compatibility with DirectX 11 hardware through DirectX 12 drivers. 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 the smart choice for benchmarking DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards.

Here's how the new benchmark looks:
