Feature tests

Specialized tests for specific features

 

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.

Stress Tests

Check the reliability and stability of your PC

 

 

 

Stress testing is a good way to check the reliability and stability of your system after buying or building a new PC, upgrading your graphics card, or overclocking your GPU. It can help you identify faulty hardware or a need for better cooling.

If your GPU crashes, hangs, or produces visual artifacts during the test, it may indicate a reliability or stability problem. If it overheats and shuts down, you may need more cooling in your computer.
