3DMark Time Spy
 |
Rendered at QHD or UHD resolutions and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a modern 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in today's latest games.
It is the standard QHD result that is most illuminating here. GTX 1060 is able to produce 70 per cent more performance than GTX 960... all within a 19-month launch window. Impressive.
Less impressive is the 45 per cent improvement that took almost three years to arrive. Would it be wrong to expect a 100 per cent performance hike in this time period, at the same power levels, and at about the same price?
