3DMark System Requirements

Published by UL


What we love

1. Search and compare benchmark results from all the latest graphics cards and processors on the 3DMark website to find the models that offer the best performance for your budget.

2. 3DMark tests your system's GPU and CPU performance by rendering extremely demanding game-like scenes in real time.

3. Use 3DMark Stress Tests to check the stability of your system and discover faulty hardware while it's still under warranty.

4. 3DMark Stress Tests run in a loop to put your system under heavy load for longer than a standard benchmark run.

5. And if you’re wondering what your 3DMark score means for real-world game performance, 3DMark also shows you the frame rates you can expect in a selection of popular games.

6. A well-built PC with decent cooling should be able to deliver peak performance for the full duration of a 3DMark Stress Test.

7. 3DMark includes everything gamers need to benchmark and compare PC performance.

8. We update 3DMark regularly so that you can benchmark the latest PC gaming hardware.

9. PC gaming is a quest for performance, a never-ending cycle of upgrading, overclocking, and tweaking your system for faster frame rates, higher resolutions, and better quality visual effects.

10. For more than 20 years, 3DMark has been the first choice for benchmarking, testing, and comparing PC performance.

11. Identify bottlenecks in your system and compare 3DMark scores to help choose your next upgrade.
