One benchmark for all your hardware

3DMark Port Royal is the world’s first dedicated real-time ray tracing benchmark for gamers. You can use Port Royal to test and compare the real-time ray tracing performance of any graphics card that supports Microsoft DirectX Raytracing. As well as benchmarking performance, 3DMark Port Royal provides a realistic and practical example of what to expect from ray tracing in upcoming games.

• Ray tracing benchmark for graphics cards.
• Renders at 2560 × 1440 resolution.
• Requires a GPU with DirectX Raytracing support.

Night Raid is a DirectX 12 benchmark for mobile computing devices with integrated graphics and low-power platforms powered by Windows 10 on Arm. Run Night Raid to test and compare laptops, notebooks, tablets, and the latest Always Connected PCs. The test is especially suitable for DirectX 12 systems that cannot achieve high frame rates in the more demanding Time Spy benchmark.

• DirectX 12 benchmark for Windows 10.
• Renders at 1920 × 1080 resolution.
• Includes a Demo, Graphics tests, and a CPU test.

3DMark Wild Life is a cross-platform benchmark for Windows, Android and Apple iOS. Use 3DMark Wild Life to test and compare the graphics performance of the latest notebook computers, tablets and smartphones. Wild Life uses the Vulkan graphics API on Windows PCs and Android devices. On iOS devices, it uses Metal. You can compare benchmark scores across platforms.

• Cross-platform GPU benchmark.
• Renders at 2560 × 1440 resolution.
• Requires a GPU with Vulkan 1.1 support.

Fire Strike

Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark for modern gaming PCs. Its ambitious real-time graphics are rendered with detail and complexity far beyond other DirectX 11 benchmarks and games.

Fire Strike includes two graphics tests, a physics test and a combined test that stresses the CPU and GPU.

• DirectX 11 benchmark for gamers.
• Renders at 1920 × 1080 resolution.
• For high performance gaming PCs.

Fire Strike Extreme

3DMark Fire Strike Extreme is designed for multi-GPU systems and future hardware generations.

In addition to raising the rendering resolution, additional visual quality improvements increase the rendering load to ensure accurate performance measurements for truly extreme hardware setups.

• Enhanced for extreme hardware.
• Renders at 2560 × 1440 resolution.
• For systems with multiple GPUs.

Fire Strike Ultra

Can your PC handle 4K gaming? Fire Strike Ultra's 4K Ultra HD rendering resolution is four times larger than the 1080p resolution used in Fire Strike.

A 4K monitor is not required, but your graphics card must have at least 3GB of memory to run this demanding benchmark.

• The world's first 4K gaming benchmark.
• Renders at 4K UHD resolution (3840 × 2160).
• The most demanding 3DMark test ever.

DirectX Raytracing feature test

Real-time ray tracing is incredibly demanding. The latest graphics cards have dedicated hardware that’s optimized for ray-tracing. The 3DMark DirectX Raytracing feature test measures the performance of this dedicated hardware. Instead of using traditional rendering techniques, the whole scene is ray-traced and drawn in one pass. The result of the test depends entirely on ray-tracing performance.

Mesh Shader feature test

Mesh Shaders, a new feature in DirectX 12 Ultimate, give developers more flexibility and control over the geometry pipeline. The 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test shows how game engines can improve performance by using the mesh shader pipeline to efficiently cull geometry that is not visible to the camera. An interactive mode lets you experiment with different settings and visualization tools.

PCI Express feature test

PCI Express (PCIe) is a standard interface that provides high-bandwidth communication between devices in your PC. New PCIe 4.0 interfaces provide up to twice the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0. With more bandwidth, games can transfer more data, reduce loading times, and support more complex scenes. The PCI Express feature test measures the bandwidth available to your GPU.

VRS feature test

Variable-Rate Shading (VRS) is a DirectX 12 feature that can improve performance by reducing detail in parts of the frame where it is unlikely to be noticed. The 3DMark VRS feature test helps you compare differences in performance and image quality when using Tier 1 and Tier 2 VRS. An interactive mode lets you change VRS settings on the fly and export frames for comparison.

NVIDIA DLSS feature test

Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is an NVIDIA RTX technology that uses the power of deep learning and AI to improve game performance while maintaining visual quality. The NVIDIA DLSS feature test helps you compare performance and image quality using DLSS 2 or DLSS 1. With DLSS 2, you can choose between three quality modes—Quality, Performance and Ultra Performance.
