In their own words
3DMark
3DMark benchmarks gaming performance across PCs, Macs, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones. It scans hardware and recommends a suitable benchmark, then lets users compare scores with systems using the same CPU and GPU combination. Tests include ray tracing, DirectX and Vulkan graphics benchmarks, CPU Profile tests, and GPU stress tests. Charts show CPU and GPU temperatures, clock speeds, and frame-rate changes during a run. The software also estimates frame rates for a selection of popular games to connect benchmark results with game performance. A separately purchased Storage Benchmark DLC measures SSD and other storage hardware using gaming activities. Free editions are listed for iOS and Android. The Windows and macOS edition is a one-time purchase listed at $34.99; a Windows edition sold through Epic Games is also listed at $34.99 as a one-time purchase. Enterprise features include command-line automation, offline results, XML export, commercial-use licensing, Testdriver compatibility, and priority email and phone support. The minimum listed Windows requirement is Windows 10 64-bit, a dual-core 1.8 GHz CPU, 4 GB memory, and DirectX 11 graphics.
