3DMark Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our [FutureMark’s] most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.

As expected, the Lightning Z comes out top in every 3DMark benchmark – outscoring Nvidia's Founders Edition by almost 2000 points in Fire Strike, while its score of 8604 in Fire Strike Ultra is 6% higher than the Founders could manage.
