This optional upgrade unlocks additional tests, features, and settings for people who bought 3DMark before July 14, 2016. Copies of 3DMark purchased after that date come with the Time Spy Upgrade included.
Time Spy Extreme is the world’s first 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test. It is perfect for benchmarking the latest high-end graphics cards and new processors with 8 or more cores. To run Time Spy Extreme, you will need a dedicated GPU with at least 4 GB of video memory.
Explore your PC’s performance limits with custom benchmark settings. With this upgrade, you can change the rendering resolution and quality settings for DirectX 12 benchmark tests.
Stress testing is a good way to check the reliability and stability of your system after buying or building a new PC, upgrading your graphics card, or overclocking your GPU. Stress testing can also identify faulty hardware or the need for better cooling.
Speed up your benchmarking by skipping the demo when running DirectX 12 tests.
