We challenge all desktops’ graphics with a quintet of animations or gaming simulations from UL’s 3DMark test suite. Wild Life (1440p) and Wild Life Extreme (4K) use the Vulkan graphics API to measure GPU speeds.
Steel Nomad’s regular and Light subtests focus on APIs more commonly used for game development, like Metal and DirectX 12, to assess gaming geometry and particle effects.
We then turn to Solar Bay to measure ray-tracing performance in a synthetic environment. This benchmark works with Vulkan for…
