Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark for modern gaming PCs. Its ambitious real-time graphics are rendered with detail and complexity far beyond other DirectX 11 benchmarks and games. Fire Strike includes two graphics tests, a physics test and a combined test that stresses the CPU and GPU. (UL).
3DMark Time Spy is a DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built the right way from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards. (UL).
Starting off with 3DMark, we can see the GameRock OC offers a reasonable amount of extra performance when compared to Gigabyte's RTX 3090 Eagle OC. In Fire Strike and Time Spy, for instance, the Palit GPU is 4% faster, but that increases to 5% in Fire Strike Ultra. In that test, there's only a 2% difference between the GameRock OC and AMD's 6900 XT.
