I’ve always liked the 3DMark benchmarks, sure you just sit there and watch them but they always look so good. Futuremark has just announced that a new benchmark is coming to 3DMark called Sky Diver and it’s just what it sounds like sky divers and of course it looks great.  The Sky Diver benchmark is made for gaming laptops and mid-range PCs. Details below for along with a link tot eh YouTube trailer so you can check it out for yourself..

 

Futuremark today announced 3DMark Sky Diver, a new DirectX 11 benchmark test for gaming laptops and mid-range PCs. 3DMark Sky Diver is the ideal test for benchmarking systems with mainstream DirectX 11 graphics cards, mobile GPUs, or integrated graphics. A preview trailer for the new benchmark shows a wingsuited woman skydiving into a mysterious, uncharted location. The scene is brought to life with tessellation, particles and advanced post-processing effects. Sky Diver will be shown in full at Computex from June 3-7, or find out more on the Futuremark website:
