Promises, promises!

In addition to 4K resolutions (3840x2400 preferred), it'd be great to get some additional benchmark content in both 2560x1600 and 5120×2880.

I've added two zips containing DXV3 files and comp for benchmarking 3840x2160. Also I've updated the 1080p folder with DXV3 encoded files.

Just did a quick test on the new 1080p DXV3 files and my 2008 Mac Pro went from 5 to 8 layers on clean and from 3 to 5 layers on noise. What a difference a codec can make.

Thanks Joris for updating the Test! Here is my first 4k result.

It's pretty amazing to witness the performance increase with "global effects and blend modes" disabled!

Next up for testing will be one of our desktop servers and I'll test with one GTX980 4GB by itself and two in SLI.

I also tested with the media on the OS Drive (PCIe SSD) or secondary drive (Samsung 850 EVO 250GB) and it made no difference in terms of FPS.
