Haven't seen a thread but they released it just 4 days ago. It's fairly short but it's free, so I can't really complain. Might replace Time Spy as the go-to benchmark in the near future.


Here is my score with an undervolted RTX 4090 and i9-13900K.

Strange that is drops so much from 4090 to 4080 to 4070.
My 200 watt limit had something to do with as well, I'd imagine. The frequency was a good 150+mhz below what games are. Roughly 2600ish instead 2760-2790. And stay pegged at 200-205.

Not too surprising. Those synthetic benchmarks are fantastic at leveraging computer resources and you'll see raw compute scale much better in them. For instance, SLI in 3DMark had a scaling of around 90% which almost never happened in games. I still grieve the death of multi-gpu support. I know CDPR would have supported it for CP2077 as TW3 has excellent scaling with SLI, like 80%. Imagine Two 4090s using path tracing. Native 4K would be feasible.

Score - 2236
3700x, 32gb ram, GTX 1080ti.

Not bad i suppose, especially for a 4k benchmark which is a rez beyond my card lol. I did run the test again at 1080p and got a 62fps average which was better than the 23fps average for 4k he he.

I play games at 1080p/60 on my tv, so thats all i care about.

It would be interesting if they made a version of this that could run on PS5, to see if user power grids or ambient temps would lead to significantly different results.

Got 4706 with the setup below, GPU Undervolted.
Overclocked only got an extra +50 points (so 47.55fps)

EDIT: Overclock settings were with default power limit (100%).
Maxed out to 118% and Core Voltage at 100%, i gained a scorching 1fps, lol - total 4854 points.

Specs:
10GB RTX 3080 and 5900x.
