About 3DMark
3DMark from UL Solutions is the benchmark most reviewers and PC builders quote when comparing graphics performance. It bundles a set of tests aimed at different hardware: Time Spy and Fire Strike for DirectX gaming PCs, Speed Way and Port Royal for ray tracing, Steel Nomad for current high-end cards, and lighter cross-platform tests such as Wild Life and Solar Bay that run on laptops, phones and tablets. Scores can be compared with a large online database of other systems, and stress-test modes loop a benchmark to check stability. The Windows version is sold mainly through Steam, where you can install only the tests you need; a free demo covers a few tests, while the paid Advanced edition unlocks the full set and options like custom settings. Separate apps exist for Android, iOS and macOS. A Professional edition with automation targets commercial users.
Best for: Gamers and reviewers who want comparable GPU scores against other systems.
