3DMark Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our [FutureMark’s] most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.
3DMark represents our first set of tests for the RTX 2060 FE 6GB. In both DX11 tests – Fire Strike and Fire Strike Ultra – the card sits between the GTX 1070 and GTX 1070 Ti. Time Spy is a DX12 test, however, and there it pulls ahead of the 1070 Ti and is barely 100 points behind the GTX 1080. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues when we introduce our games testing.
