3DMark

Great benchmark. Although it usually turns into depression when you realize just how bad your hardware is compared to the best.

One of the best ways to stress test aggressive undervolting and overclocking combined to see if you won the silicon lottery or not. Looks like I won on my 3080 yay!

Good benchmarking software. Always fun to run when you get a new computer so you can really see how it performs against your old one as well as similar ones out there.

It has a good variety of tests; good for testing overclock stability. I got a bundle with most of the DLC for $9 in 2020.

I'm #1 in the world on 10900k and 3080 in Steel Nomad with a score of 5089.

Well worth a buy when on sale. I've used it to benchmark and stress-test gaming pc's that are malfunctioning. Great for fault finding with GPU's and CPU's.

There's always a glitch. Systemview dont work, or hangs so benchmarks do not start. One version works fine, new ones don't. It's just a mess.

This just does not work anymore, it hangs at 'Collecting System Info' and wont go any further

I have reinstalled the app, tried it in safe mode and it still wont get past that part... i don't know if it is windows 11 causing the issue but it worked fine on windows 10, its a ruddy pain!

It may be THE program for benchmarking a PC but it is simply not worth the headache of getting it to properly work. No matter what I tried it would never recognize my PC specs although literally any other program that does the same thing works perfectly fine. I should not need to email support with logs just to make a $35 program actually function like it should although it is nice that their support can be as helpful as they are.

It tests. It tests good. Mmmmm sexy visuals being crunched out and you score at the end... Why wouldn't I recommend this ?

Use this often to test stability on new builds and systems after upgrades / hardware swaps. Allows the ability to evaluate upgrades for performance improvements when components are swapped and to test performance differences between CPU's / GPU's.

Thorough set of benchmarks for CPU, GPU, storage, mobile, and specific graphics features.

It's nice to have an app that allows you to compare your rig to others. And able to test my rog ally with the cooling case mod, pretty cool. I wish there was a way to compare your test results in app. Or maybe I just don't understand the website... I have this huge issue on my main rig where I can't get the system info to verify results, its my only big gripe. Other than, that love it.

Great Benchmark and Test to make sure your systems doing what it should

good product for testing limits and stability of system

Its a solid benchmark... New features and test added often to support latest tech. Paid version worth every penny IMO simply because it has life-long value.

Nothing much to say other than it is great for running benchmarks on whatever system you may have. I've been using '3D Mark' for years now and have never run into any problems with it.

my scores are good therefore this app is good. recommend

FIX!

so what fixed it for me was turning of everything bitdefender had on. hope this helps anyone!


OLD

i have no idea what to do, System info just doesn't work, not even in services, tried disabling everything from antivirus to icue, to uninstalling and reinstalling future mark

this is a very cool benchmark 'gram. gives the user pretty much everything we need in order to get accurate measurements... nice nice!!!

does its job, but it is the most subpar experience I've ever seen. buy it on sale for $2, never pay full price.

This is great software to give you a good point to start when testing your PC's abilities. Easy to use and fun to see how far you can push your rig.

It's a good way for me to track changes I have made to my system. And get some sort of idea of if I got the gains I was looking for.

Get it while its on sale if you can. $10-15 USD I think is best over the $35 USD for just the CPU and GPU benchmarks.

This is just one of many benchmarks you can use to see the power and stability of your computers hardware.
There is nothing extremely special about this benchmark. Do not use only this benchmark to test your computers hardware. I would suggest using multiple that test/stress your computer in different ways. This benchmark can run a few times on unstable overclock before crashing, giving you false security. So again, use multiple benchmark programs.

The visual aspect of the benchmarks are always a nice delight to see.
Leader boards and achievements are a fun bonus to showing what your computer can do.

TLDR; get this if you enjoy/want/need this for testing computer hardware, but wait for a sale.

Bought this a while ago , and now if i want to test a new piece of hardware i need to spend more money . This is one piece of shi Software i wont be reinstalling on my new build. Bye Bye Scammers.

Solid product with very good insights on system performance.
One gets statistics on performance vs other users with the same CPU's and GPUS.
That's great data.

Not critical, but very nice to have. Wishlist it and wait for a sale and get it in a bundle for <$10

A good app for testing various settings on your rig. Gives you a rough idea of how your gaming PC is performing although with a near top end system I never even seem to hit the average score for "my" hardware. Not sure what that's about.

Thank you #D mark for continuing to develop new benchmarks for modern hardware (after collecting money already)

Not much to say. Simple and effective benchmarking tool.
It's great. :)

Wow. 3DMark simply no longer works.

Depending upon your system, even if it's Windows 10 or 11, benchmarks, SystemInfo, and at times even launching, hang or crash.

And if you're trying to use it on Steam Deck or any other Linux system, forget it.

Nice to run some tests after you build a new rig.

The best game in Steam, the only one where you get the full excitement of a new CPU or a GPU and realize you should have bought the 4090 anyway.

Listen his is a good software, very good utility, but it is very, VERY hard to get it working on steam os/ other Distros. It is very fucking frustrating. I have comments enabled if any of yall got it working and would like to enlighten me. This just has to get fixed, to make it much easier without jumping through a million hoops just to get this damn software working.

Used to be a good and comprehensive program for benchmarking.
Now, you have to pay for separate benchmarks, with no effort to explain what is what and the difference for novice users.

Pointless. They price-gate versions of it. Sure, to earn more. But to what end? I bought it long ago because i expected a complete product. But today, there's better ways of figuring out what performance your PC got.

I was testing a couple benchmarks and overclocking my gpu/vram upon oc the vram it caused windows to crash. usually this is not a big deal, however it corrupted my boot drive, this was not repairable by windows and lead to an untimely complete re-install of my OS.

great way to test oc and new build setups. plus numbers are fun.

This tool is fantastic to bench mark your computer. It can also heat your room if you you have a big enough GPU "What I have been using it for" in these cold mornings.

No function on Linux?

How am I supposed to see my performance advantage from Windows 11?

Seriously, Linux is the only way to test pure performance without the resource hogs. How is there not support?

A relic from an era before games had their own benchmark tools, when software required a product key in order to function, and when nothing worked on Linux. On the other hand, they want to nickel-and-dime you for new benchmarks, so I suppose it is modern in that respect.

It is a useful tool for benchmarking your rig and to make sure temps are good under load

Best 3D performance benchmark on the market, it has almost every test you could ask for.
Give it a whirl.

Use it to test systems. There are a lot of not smart people who vote negative, do not listen to them.

Paid upgrades for a benchmark are bullshit. It's already overpriced.

Garbage. After you install it you launch it and there are more options to install stuff like scam software. There is no clear direction, what you should install, then even if you spend hours searching online figuring out what you need to download, this thing scans and give you a pass fail but doesn't tell you what is wrong. This is insanely complicated complete not intuitive save your money this is a complete waste of time and $$$$. I am not better off then before I bought this useless piece of trash
