3D TESTS
3DMark 11 is the most recent iteration (not counting the version for the upcoming Windows 8) of the popular benchmarking software from Futuremark. For this test we run the Performance preset of the benchmark which comes with the free version of 3DMark 11 which should present a more reproducible scenario for a lot of people.
As we’ve seen on our previous test with the HD4000 on the Intel desktop system, 3DMark 11 keeps crashing. With the U2442V, the GT640M GPU takes over the IGP duties which gives us some very nice figures.
The latest iteration of the most widely-used benchmarking application in the world gets a reboot of sorts with the latest version just going by the name of 3DMark. This version includes the Fire Strike benchmark which features tons of new implementations to put modern systems through their paces.
