Everything a gamer needs to benchmark and compare PC performance is in 3DMark. It features exams designed for every kind of PC, from portable laptops to dedicated desktops. 3DMark will suggest the ideal benchmark based on your hardware.

3DMark evaluates your system's GPU and CPU performance by rendering incredibly demanding game-like scenarios in real time. Your score increases as the benchmark run more quickly. Your journey has now begun. What can you do to improve your grade?

Start by comparing the results of other systems using the same hardware to your 3DMark score. Lower-than-average scores could point to a cooling issue, a configuration issue, or defective parts. Scores that are above average indicate the possibility of overclocking your hardware. Additionally, 3DMark provides information on the frame rates you may anticipate in several well-known titles if you're curious about what your 3DMark score means for real-world Game performance.

Check your system's performance now to find how much more you can get from it—your driver software. Reinstall Windows. Play around with the system settings. Run 3DMark after each change to monitor your development. To determine your next update, evaluate 3DMark results and identify system bottlenecks. In the 3DMark Community Hub on Steam, you may exchange tips, ask for guidance, and display your setup.

FOR OVERCLOCKERS

Overclocking is a skill that requires accuracy. The objective is to maximise the performance of your GPU and CPU. The rewards are a free performance improvement and the joy of outperforming your hardware's stock performance.

A crucial tool for overclockers is 3DMark. To gauge the performance improvement from overclocking, run 3DMark before and after. To test the performance limitations of your PC, use custom benchmark settings. Change the resolution and other variables to make 3DMark tests harder or easier.

Test the stability of your overclocks and the efficiency of your cooling by running 3DMark Stress Tests. To put your system under significant pressure for a more extended period than a typical benchmark run, 3DMark Stress Tests run repeatedly.

You can compete for the top spot on the 3DMark Steam leaderboards or challenge your friends to see who can achieve the highest 3DMark score.

FOR SYSTEM BUILDERS

To ensure your new build is configured correctly, run 3DMark and compare your benchmark score with comparable systems. For locating configuration problems, detailed hardware monitoring charts show you how the CPU and GPU load, temperature, and clock speed changed throughout the test run.

To test the stability of your system and identify damaged hardware while it is still covered by warranty, use 3DMark Stress Tests. Another excellent technique to evaluate and improve the cooling performance of your system is stress testing. The entire 3DMark Stress Test should be completed with peak performance from a well-built PC with adequate cooling.

Additionally, 3DMark can be helpful when planning an upgrade. Find the models that give the highest performance for your budget by searching and comparing benchmark results from all the most recent graphics cards and CPUs on the 3DMark website.
