3DMark is a powerful utility for testing your computer, designed to measure the performance of, primarily, the graphics subsystem. The program allows you to measure the power of not only your personal computer, but also notebooks, tablets and smartphones, because separate versions exist for Android and iOS.
The program uses the latest graphics technology (including DirectX 12 and ray tracing), but at the same time includes older tests such as Fire Strike for previous generations of video adapters. Just like any other performance measurement program, 3DMark shows you the number of points your device has scored at the end of the test (the more points the better). The advantage of the program is that scores from different platforms (Windows, Android, iOS and Apple Silicon Macs) can be compared with each other. The structure of each test resembles a scene from a computer game, but the user can not influence the course of events. Results can be compared online with other systems. The program contains many tests of different orientation, including Steel Nomad, Time Spy, Port Royal, Speed Way and CPU Profile, as well as stress tests; the free Basic Edition offers a limited set, while paid editions unlock all of them.
One main benefit of using 3DMark software is that it provides comparable performance scores for a wide range of computing devices across different platforms.
