3Dmark time spy already available, the first benchmarks appear
Table of contents:
Finally Futuremark has released its long-awaited 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, the first benchmark test to mediate the performance of different graphics cards under the same conditions. With this new tool you can now make comparisons between Nvidia and AMD under the same conditions in a much more realistic way than with Ashes of Singularity.
3DMark Time Spy: main features
3DMark Time Spy uses Asynchronous Computing technology to improve the performance of the card, so whoever has done a better job in this regard will win. This new test has been designed to use Directc3D 12_0 and take advantage of all the CPU cores to, together with Asynchronous Compute, run true reference to the potential of the different GPUs both individually and in CrossFire and SLI configurations and with resolutions up to 4K.
First tests 3DMark Time Spy
Different media such as PCWorld, AnandTech and PCPerspective have already done their first tests with a good handful of AMD and Nvidia graphics cards to see their behavior and performance gain with Asynchronous Computing. The different tests show that AMD gets along better with this feature although the difference is quite small and in no case is it as abysmal as seen previously in Vulkan and Doom.

3Dmark time spy with raytracing will be released in late September
UL recently did this with 3DMark, but this has not stopped further work on updating this tool.
The first Vega 20 benchmarks appear under ffxv
Vega 20 belongs to the Radeon Instinct series, a graphics card for the professional sector that would soon make the leap towards 7 nm.
3Dmark time spy is the first directx 12 benchmark
The new 3D synthetic Mark Time Spy test arrives to measure the power of your GPU under the new generation DirectX 12 API.
