According to a report from Expreview, Futuremark is “hard at work” developing a benchmark designed to stress DirectX 11 hardware.

Further details as to the tests or release date of the new 3DMark are in question as Futuremark President Oliver Baltuch said he was unable to comment on unannounced projects.

In the mean time, users looking to run the numbers on their new Radeons should sidle up to the “Heaven” benchmark. Based on the DirectX 11 Unigine engine, the benchmark demonstrates rad technologies like hardware tessellation,  depth of field via Direct Compute, and tessellated displacement maps.
