3DMark

Some benchmarks are better than others, but my experience with 3DMark is mostly from several years ago.

Very fun 4 Nerds, when on sale very worth it.

I love using this to test my hardware. For my main gaming set up, my low power system, or any systems I am tinkering with.

Get on a sale, I think anyone thats a PC enthusiast could benefit from this app, although benchmarks like superposition and unigine heaven exist and are free these are very tailored to specific parts of you systems build you want to stress test, i picked up the set for 10$

3D mark is no longer the undisputed king of gpu benchmarking but is still a very convenient way of testing and comparing gpus and other components.

The standard for basic benchmarking.

It just works. Expensive for what it offers as similar free software exists but nothing like it on Steam.

If you're looking to test the mettle of your metal, 3DMark doesn't just raise the bar—it bench-presses it through the ceiling.

From Time Spy-ing on your GPU’s secret strengths to sending your system into a Fire Strike frenzy, this tool is a mark above the rest. Every test is like putting your PC on a treadmill and saying, “Let’s see what you're made of, silicon soldier!”

The graphics? So intense they nearly rendered me speechless. The physics tests? Let’s just say my CPU is now in therapy for PTSD—Post-Thermal Stress Disorder.

And don’t get me started on the results screen. Seeing my score skyrocket had me feeling like I overclocked my self-esteem.

Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, 3DMark makes sure your rig is frame-ready for anything. It's not just a benchmark, it's a GPU gladiator arena. 🛡️⚔️

So if you're wondering whether your build is hot stuff or needs a little cooling off, 3DMark is your graphics guru. Run it, love it, brag about it—because every frame counts, and so does your clout.

spent more time benching different gpu's/cpu's than i have spent actually playing some games. great tool.

Had some issues with my ram and with the help of this program was able to fix it. Sooo.. thats good.

Probably the best benchmarking program since forever.

Useful tool for comparing builds, components, drivers, overclocking, undervolting and optimizations.

Not only does this provide objective benchmarking for your PC, it is also GORGEOUS visually. The demo for Time Spy is fun to watch. And Steel Nomad- better plot and acting than half the crap Hollywood puts out, in only two minutes, with no dialog.
TIP: If you're just benchmarking for yourself (like tweaking an overclock) use Custom runs with the graphics turned down. Either set the graphics to your monitor's native resolution, or (if you really want to go there) set them lower and use upscaling.

If you buy all that expensive equipment you should test it out... the best program there is..
only minus sometimes problems with steam itself, app left hanging when closed...

Great benchmarking software to see how your pc compares to pc's that are similar.

if you care about how your pc or laptop is running i would highly suggest picking up this game i use it often to see how my pc is doing and what i should expect out of games

great and intensive stress tests and benchmarks for overclocking enthusiasts

Half of the benchmarks are paid DLC, and these benchmarks aren't terribly useful for determining OC stability or even OC performance. I now use benchmarks from other games, such as cyberpunk 2077, to test my GPU OC's since it seems to be more reliable. You're better off putting your money towards a game with a decent built in benchmark than this.

Great benchmarking tool. If you're a nerdburger like me, go ahead and get some.

The application that makes you feel bad for whatever hardware you were able to buy.

Ah 3DMark... My favorite game (by play time). Great benchmarking tool for both builders and users alike!

Industry standard benchmarks, great UI, good stress tests - 9/10

every overclocking need down to PCIE speed test. Worth full price, although it goes on sale every now and again
Regular benchmarks and 20loop tests
Steel Nomad to replicate gaming sessions
Time Spy extreme for CPU and GPU 4k intensive tests
Speedway for ray tracing
Has DLSS and FSR bench tests
Ran on DX12, DX11, Vulkan tests
Great system profiler

What is there to say? Best benchmark/stress test for your GPU around. Highly recommended.

Love checking performance of different cpu and gpu combos

I have been using 3Dmark to test my VGAs and I really like the SW. I started it with a Voodoo 3D FX card as far as I remember :-)

it allows you to bench and stress test your hardware. doesnt really need to do much else.

It's very helpful for testing overclock settings.

Been a while since I used 3DMark. With the Integrated Graphics it was Neat Tool.
Without digging to deep, it looks as if the previous benefactor is no longer the owner and everything that was now purchased is now up gradable. I'll miss some of the Titles, but I'm not going too re-up, however I'm not burning the bridge,

I've used this in the past to overclock and benchmark a 1660ti and a 3060ti. It's very self explanatory software. Works well and it's very easy to make adjustments and keep track of your scores with a pen and paper while finding the best possible parameters.

It's great too if you just want to run benchmarks to see how your hardware setup compares to others.

Great for testing new memory profiles or overclocking configs for stability and results!

A great tool to maximize the performance of your hardware while also ensuring you won't run into crashes when in the middle of a gaming session, pulling you out of the magic and world you're enjoying.

Hardware monitoring was disabled. Results without hardware monitoring data are not eligible for the 3DMark Hall of Fame.

Sort your software out...

Great for benchmarking and affordable

A really useful tool to help you dial in your new hardware. Definitely recommended it if you are trying to overclock and stress test your system.

In my opinion best and reliable benchmark for your pc. Even with the free version perfectly right for it's job.

I mean, its literally the benchmarks of benchmarks. perfect to attack any part of your pc.

Pretty handy for overclocking and stability testing. I guess because they use a bunch of technologies that really stress the CPU and GPU. Time Spy was great in forcing a crash when my CPU overclock was too high, and Firestrike and Speeday helped for the GPU.

idk it's just good benchmarks and stress-tests. idk how you could leave a negative review on this, it does what it's supposed to.

Great piece of software, helps with standardized measurement of the system performance between PC/SW tweaks

Works well, does what its advertised to do and it also receives frequent new content.

We're deeply due for a new update, OG 3D?Mark used to be cool. Now it's boring and late to the game.

10/10 best stress tester and bench marking tool. Top 1% PC GANG!

Seems like they are putting prices tags on a lot of things, even things that I'm pretty sure were free before. Not recommended for regular folks that aren't doing anything overly serious with there machines.

It's a 3dmark, modern day equivalent of 'watching paint dry'
You pay for validation and bragging rights, what else lol

Fun for those that love to overclock. My favourite tool for testing stability on gpu overclocks as it pushes the stability fairly hard and will crash if it's unstable at all which is a good thing because if it won't crash on this almost everything else never crashes.

had lots of fun running benchmarks on all the different gpu's ive had over the years

I have to pay extra to be able to skip the damn timespy demo... if this was a free app, alright, fair enough, but it isn't.

if you need to benchmark your PC this software works wonders
