Unigine Engine Website announces the release of Heaven Benchmark, which they claim is the "first" DirectX 11 benchmark, though it also supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and OpenGL. The benchmark is available on their downloads page, and there are videos showing it in operation on the YouTube here and here. According to Unigine CEO Denis Shergin, "Our company has been pushing the limits of advanced 3D real-time technologies with Unigine engine for almost 5 years. We focus on consistent delivering of all the innovation power to game developers and end users by taking advantage of modern GPUs capabilities. So we couldn't have missed the next major stage of DirectX evolution with its inspiring features. We are happy to be the first benchmark provider for this amazing technology. I hope that our strategic relationship with Microsoft will continue." Thanks Mocib.
