The premier (first) DirectX 11 benchmark has surfaced from Unigine Corp. The new "Heaven" benchmark features native support of OpenGL, DirectX 9, DirectX 10 and most importantly: DirectX 11. It also incorporates tessellation, advanced SSAO (screen-space ambient occlusion), algorithm-generated volumetric clouds , dynamic time-of-day simulation, interactive fly/walk-through modes and ATI Eyefinity support for multiple-monitor configurations. The Heaven benchmark is based on Unigine's proprietary Unigine™ engine. The Heaven benchmark is available to download for free here and a video of the benchmark in action can be viewed on YouTube here. I've personally witnessed the Heaven benchmark in action and I can truly say it's visually stunning. I can't wait to see what's next from Unigine!
