As we reported a few days ago, Futuremark is back with a new benchmark, 3D Mark 11. The official site is now live, and features pictures and a preview video.

According to Futuremark’s YouTube page, “3DMark 11 uses a native DirectX 11 engine which makes extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading.”

You can see it in action in a video which features a pair of MSI-branded submarines floating underwater – embedded after the jump.

The hyper-gamer? Asus is making a completely fresh start with the G73; a new design, matt surfaces, an improved cooling system and a DirectX 11 capable graphics card (the HD 5870) all go to make up this 17.3-inch gaming hot-shot. We put the €1,400 machine to the test in our review.
