Futuremark 3DMark

3DMark is a benchmarking tool by UL (formerly Futuremark) used to test a computer’s graphics (GPU) and CPU rendering performance under game‑like loads. It helps compare hardware, test overclocking, and check system stability.

Key Features of 3DMark
-Benchmarks for a variety of graphics APIs and capabilities
-- DirectX 12 Ultimate (ray tracing, mesh shaders, variable rate shading, sampler feedback)
-- Tests spanning from low‑end integrated graphics to high‑end gaming GPUs
- Multiple benchmarks / test types
-- Graphics‑intensive tests (Fire Strike, Time Spy, Port Royal, etc.)
-- CPU / combined GPU+CPU tests
-- Feature tests that check for particular recent graphics technologies (DLSS, FSR, XeSS, etc.)
- Stress / stability testing to evaluate how well the GPU / whole system handles sustained load.
- Hardware monitoring: shows temps, clock speeds, GPU/CPU loads during benchmark runs to help diagnose performance bottlenecks or cooling issues.
- Cross‑platform support: works on Windows, Android, (recently) macOS; tests also for mobile/ integrated devices.
- Comparison, ranking, and community / benchmarking database: you can compare your scores with others with similar hardware.
- Optional upgrades / DLCs for more benchmark tests or modes (e.g. “Speed Way” as a DX12 Ultimate benchmark)
