To be revealed at CES 2017

It appears that Futuremark will reveal a couple of new tests that will be a part of its 3DMark benchmark and take advantage of both DirectX 12 as well as Vulkan API.

According to a report coming from Techpowerup.com, the first will be targeting notebook graphics and entry-mainstream graphics cards with DirectX 12 capability and will pretty not be as heavy as the currently available Time Spy benchmark.

The second one will be a bit more interesting as it will use Vulkan API and this new benchmark should be available for both Windows and Android platforms.

Earlier this year, Futuremark released the VRMark, a virtual-reality benchmark that includes two tests and measures if the system is ready to deliver VR experience on two most popular VR headsets, the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift.
