3DMark Time Spy is a Windows software package designed for testing the performance limits of personal computers. It is one of the first DirectX 12 applications to utilize the full capacity of the new engine. This makes it a useful tool for benchmarking modern graphics cards.

Introduction

3DMark is a popular utility used by gamers, hardware review sites and many leading technology companies. With its wide array of test scenarios, you can analyze everything from tablets and laptops to the latest high-end gaming PCs. If you have any version of the base program installed, it is possible to download the Time Spy expansion on Steam.

Process

When you start the benchmarking process, you will see a visual simulation that stresses the hardware components of your computer. Additionally, there will be a series of individual tests to analyze the specified settings. You can configure them before the presentation is launched. By default, this expansion supports new DirectX 12 API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading.
