Benchmarks (Part 2)
Steel Nomad (High-end Gaming Benchmark)
3DMark Steel Nomad is a cross-platform, non-raytraced benchmark for high-end gaming PCs. It uses the DirectX 12 API by default on Windows. In Explorer mode, you can freely explore the scene and change rendering settings.
Your device must have at least 6GB of video memory to run this test. Systems with Integrated GPUs need 16 GB total system RAM.
Speed Way
3DMark Speed Way is a graphics card benchmark for testing DirectX 12 Ultimate performance. To run this test, you must have a graphics card that supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and has 6GB or more of video memory.
Port Royal
Port Royal is a graphics card benchmark for testing real-time ray tracing performance. To run this test, you must have a graphics card and drivers that support Microsoft DirectX Raytracing.
Time Spy
3DMark Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built “the right way” from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards.
