If you have a shiny new DirectX 11 card taking up space in your case, this may be of interest to you. The first DX11-specific benchmark has been released by Unigine Corp. The demo is called “Heaven” and runs on the company’s proprietary Unigine engine.
Unigine have released two previous GPU benchmarking demos called “Sanctuary” and “Tropics”. Like those programs, the new DX11 benchmark is available for free. Heaven has support for OpenGL, DirectX 9, 10, and 11. So regardless of your hardware, it should run as long as you have at least 256 MB of VRAM. There’s even support for AMD’s new Eyefinity technology.
You will, however, need .NET framework 2.0, OpenAL, and your card’s latest stable drivers. If you want to take your card for a spin, you can get the Heaven demo here.

My ATi 4670 gets 25 FPS steady with everything maxed out. 99% GPU Usage, runs at 50 C. Can't say that's too bad considering the tessellation improvement.

This is REAL DX11 here people. I am a regular on OCN (overclock.net) and a fellow member (VCheeZ) has showed all of us the power of tesselation. God it looks amazing when the wire frames are enabled. That dragon looks completely white with tesselation enabled on it.

This benchmark is gorgeous. I had to view all the hype for DirectX11 support via a video on youtube, but still looks awesome with DirectX10
