Futuremark's 3DMark 11 is a synthetic benchmarking tool designed to provide an accurate and consistent simulation of the latest DX 11 games. 3DMark 11 tests the video card's performance capabilities using a native DirectX 11 engine which uses tessellation, compute-shaders and multi-threading. 3DMark 11 also tests the system's physics capabilities using the Bullet Open-source physics engine, testing for rigid-body calculations via CPU as well as simulating soft-body physics using DirectCompute
