I'm assuming you're going to run a bench for this? I really want to try it but I don't feel like buying 3DMark for one test.

Yes, still need to install Windows 10 preview though ...

So DX12 is 18% more efficient than mantle and 1562% better than DX11 or nearly 16x better. Pretty impressive.

Here is my run on Win7 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6375108
wow. I need to build a hybrid system to run nvidia and AMD. in the future, if it holds true. to combine nvidia and amd. all that power.

To be fair its a test designed specifically to show DX12's advantage. Actual game improvements will probably be closer to 20%. Although I doubt many games will actually have DX11/12 variants so testing will be difficult.

All of those scores are relative. System configuration is going to have an effect on the scores, as usual. The faster the CPU and GPU, the more draw calls. To an extent, we'll still be able to use these scores for comparison to other systems. You just won't be able to properly compare AMD vs NVidia.

Even 20% increase on your existing card is pretty good i have noticed that the Intel core shows alot of improvement over the AMD A10 in DX11, to be expected really.

WOW I am surprised Hilbert doesnt have a machine running the preview already.
Hey, don't hate the playa .. hate the game ! I had, I ditched it as I reused a SSD I needed ... now installing again. Waiting for Windows update to finish to a newer build and then will have DX12 😉

can someone post a pic of what it looks like? i mean is it just tonnes of objects or does it have some normal scenario?

Tons of square objects that represent buildings, not really realistic. The small screenshots you see in the results, that's it full-screen.

Hilbert, would it be possible to run this benchmark on say, an FX-8320E and i7 4790K with an R9 290X for comparison?

Ahh OK, thanks, will hold off on the win 10 install then so
