We’re excited to announce that our new DirectX 12 Ultimate Benchmark 3DMark Speed Way is now available on Steam. 3DMark Speed Way is sponsored by Lenovo Legion.
3DMark Speed Way is a new GPU benchmark that showcases the graphics technology that will power the next generation of gaming experiences.
Developed with input from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and other leading technology companies, Speed Way is an ideal benchmark for comparing the DirectX 12 Ultimate performance of the latest graphics cards.
DirectX 12 Ultimate is the next generation for gaming graphics. It adds powerful new capabilities to
DirectX 12, helping game developers improve visual quality, boost frame rates, reduce loading times, and create vast, detailed worlds.
3DMark Speed Way’s engine is assembled to demonstrate what the latest DirectX API brings to ray-traced gaming, using DirectX Raytracing tier 1.1 for real-time global illumination and real-time raytraced reflections, coupled with new performance optimizations like Mesh Shaders.
VS. Mode
The new VS. mode lets you see and compare how your PC is performing during a Speed Way benchmark run. Add another Speed Way result for comparison and benchmark against friends, 3DMark Hall of Famers, or community members with the latest gaming hardware.
Interactive Mode
Freely explore the Speed Way scene in interactive mode. You can adjust camera focus settings, change the lighting settings, and use the built-in capture tool to compare how the latest ray tracing techniques affect visuals.
