![image thumb1 First DirectX 11 Benchmark Released [Video]](http://thetechnopath.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/image1.png "image")
DirectX 11 based hardware has just started rolling out on the streets thanks to ATI and boy I don’t need to emphasize how hot things are getting now that Windows 7 is also officially out. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do with your new Graphic Cards until some real world applications (read: DirectX 11 games) come out – which seems like will make it by the end of the holiday season.
In the meanwhile, you can take your GPU for a spin on the world’s first publicly released DirectX 11 Benchmark – Heaven by Unigine Corp. The benchmark demo is available as a free download right now and is based on the company’s Unigine engine.
In case you’re wondering, this is the first time I heard about them too, but hey who are we to complain. At least we got some Dx11 action right? Anyways, you can download the benchmark from Unigine’s website. Here are a couple of videos demoing the benchmark.
You can see how much difference can Hardware Tessellation make on your visual experience. Here’s another video to prove my point.
why they have released DX 11 when DX 10 is just rocking.
Improved features of course. The video shows differences in graphics with Dx11 on and off, which is the older Dx10.
