3DMark

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

Neat program to test out your hardwares capabilities. Nice feature at the end of every test, giving you an estimate on how many FPS you could get in other games.

It's like the gold standard for synthetic benchmarks. There should be a friend leaderboard feature though that you can use to flex on your steam friendslist.

Useful as against using artificial benchmarks and stressing my PC beyond any Game I might run.

It's a benchmark. What do you want more? Great characters, best story ever. :)

Great benchmark tool

The one complaint is there is no way to separate the overclocked machine scores with the non-overclocked machines, if you just want to see if your default setup is running about the same as people with the same setup.

3DMark is an outstanding benchmarking tool for PC enthusiasts and gamers seeking to test and optimize their system's performance. It provides a comprehensive suite of tests tailored for GPUs, CPUs, and overall system capabilities, ensuring accurate results for real-world gaming scenarios. With its intuitive interface and impressive visual demonstrations, 3DMark makes performance evaluation accessible even for less tech-savvy users. Additionally, its detailed reporting helps identify potential bottlenecks and assess upgrades, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to push their PC to its limits. Its regular updates ensure compatibility with the latest hardware and cutting-edge graphics technologies.

works most of the time, stresses my pc so much it turns into a space heater

3DMark is so buggy I have never actually been able to run a benchmark successfully. All of these hours were spent idling waiting for a benchmark to start, staring at "Gathering system info", or just using my PC while 3D Mark for some reason is still detected as running by steam.

Great software for benchmark testing and ensuring new builds are up to par!

Great to be able to see the improvements in your system over time

Great for testing your PC's ability for various hardware profiles. CPU / GPU / overall.

It's a great way to make sure your PC is running correctly after a new build.

It is very useful to benchmark my gaming PC hardware against other similar products. The DLCs are cheap, but hopefully there are more free benchmarks in the future.

2/5. The benchmarks are actually just fine -- a little clunky, but I trust that they're taking the steps necessary for reliable comparisons. But for a paid casual/enthusiast benchmark product, it has some missing features that are obnoxious and confusing. Ultimately it works, but I feel annoyed when I use it, and that is not what I want from a tool. I'll provide my list of critical missing features and you can decide for yourself whether they are important to you.

• You can't run multiple benchmarks sequentially. That means if I want to run an RT benchmark, a benchmark I run all ALL my machines, and the SSD benchmark, I have to run each one individually, wait for it to finish, then run the next one and so on. It really makes me want to not run many benchmarks or explore their different characteristics--not what I want from my benchmarking software.
  
• You can't run the benchmarks on multiple PCs simultaneously. When I purchased this software, I obviously wanted to run it on all my PCs. It's already an onerous process since you need to click each benchmark individually. Now imagine running 4 benchmarks on 4 different computers; I now have a 16 step process I have to wait through instead of setting everything up and letting it run.
  
[*]You can't save results. It DOES upload the results to 3DMark where you can view them -- if it didn't, I would have just returned the software as useless. But you can't save an XML/PDF/whatever file and load it locally to compare different machines. And if 3DMark ever stops supporting something or goes down, your history will be gone forever. Again, this just isn't what I expect from a paid enthusiast tool.

It keeps being stuck on Collecting System Info. Why? Does not show what the problem is and why does it need that information if it does not work? Run the test! I want to test things!

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.

greedy retards charge for the software but make you pay extra when they add new benchmark. Arseholes run it like freemium phone trash

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!

Don't but this shit, not worth it. Takes forever to load and basically provides nothing more than the demo

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.

My Steam account says I bought 3dmark but apparently they are selling Raytracing tests for more money. How's about I don't do that, uninstall, and find better benchmarking software. Mmk?

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.
