3DMark Cloud Gate GPU
The 3DMark Cloud Gate GPU test is designed for mid-range laptops and home PCs with integrated video graphics. The test uses the DirectX 11 engine, which is limited by Direct3D 10 capabilities. Accordingly, Cloud Gate is best suited for testing modern entry-level systems and legacy DX10-enabled GPUs.
3DMark Fire Strike Score
Fire Strike, Fire Strike Extreme, Fire Strike Ultra. Fire Strike includes two graphics tests, a physics test and a combined test that stresses the CPU and GPU.
3DMark Fire Strike Graphics
3DMark Fire Strike for Graphics Cards helps you determine performance in a state-of-the-art synthetic test that consists of two levels - physical and combined testing.
3DMark 11 Performance GPU
The result of the 3DMark 11 benchmark evaluation supports tessellation, compute shaders and graphics card multithreading will show which graphics card model is better and faster in games. The higher the score of the video card in the 3DMark 11 benchmark, the better.
3DMark Vantage Performance
3DMark Vantage Performance reveals the real performance of video cards tested by users in their computers. Only the best graphics card deserves the highest score in the 3DMark Vantage Performance benchmark.
Passmark GPU
Passmark is an effective benchmark that displays true results on the speed of data processing by GPU cores. We present the results of the evaluation of the performance of a video card in the modern Passmark benchmark, which evaluates the performance of a video card using its own rendering algorithms. The higher the score, the more powerful the graphics card.
