3DMark Benchmark (DirectX, Raytracing) - Time Spy Graphics score

3DMark is a benchmark program that determines the performance of certain components of a computer and then reports the performance as a numerical value. Here at GPU-Monkey we only use selected benchmarks for the graphics card, which are determined with a sufficiently fast processor so that the processor does not negatively affect the performance of the graphics card.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 3840x2160 (2160p)

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is based on a modified version of the Crystal Dynamics Foundation engine. This engine was already used in the predecessor Rise of the Tomb Raider. The foundation engine supports a realistic representation of water and snow and shows the game characters detailed. The display of hair is also very realistic thanks to the support of TressFX (AMD) or HairWorks (NVIDIA).

Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 2560x1440 (1440p)

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is based on a modified version of the Crystal Dynamics Foundation engine. This engine was already used in the predecessor Rise of the Tomb Raider. The foundation engine supports a realistic representation of water and snow and shows the game characters detailed. The display of hair is also very realistic thanks to the support of TressFX (AMD) or HairWorks (NVIDIA).

Battlefield 5 - 3840x2160 (2160p)

Battlefield 5 is a visually impressive game. It uses the third version of the "Frostbite Game Engine" developed by the manufacturer DICE. The engine is available for Windows, PS4, PS5, XBox One or XBox Series X. Many physics-based calculations are carried out directly in the game engine, which results in very realistic calculations. Due to its current features, Battlefield 5 is very suitable as a graphics card benchmark.

Test environment and settings: DirectX 12 API with max. Details, tested under Windows 10.

GTA 5 Benchmark (Grand Theft Auto V) - 1920x1080 (1080p)

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) is based on the RAGE Engine and was developed by Rockstar North. Rockstar had already released the open-world game for the Xbox and Playstation consoles at the end of 2013, and the PC version followed in spring 2015.

Geekbench 5 (CUDA, OpenCL, Vulkan, Metal) - Geekbench 5 - OpenCL

Geekbench 5 is primarily a cross-platform benchmark for main processors, which runs through various tests in order to finally output the processor's performance in the form of a numerical value. In addition to the CPU benchmark, Geekbench can also run 4 different graphics benchmarks and output them in the form of a numerical value.
Zusätzlich zum CPU-Benchmark kann Geekbench auch 4 verschiedene Grafik-Benchmarks durchführen und in Form eines Zahlenwertes ausgeben.

FP32 Performance (Single-precision TFLOPS) - FP32 (TFLOPS)

The theoretical computing power of the graphics card with single precision (32 bit) in TFLOPS. TFLOPS indicates how many trillion FP32 floating point operations the graphics card (GPU) can perform per second. The larger this number, the faster the graphics card is.

More benchmarks

In order to determine the performance of a graphics card, so-called "benchmarks" are carried out. The benchmark software carries out special calculations to determine the performance of a graphics card. We use so-called theoretical or synthetic benchmarks (e.g. 3D Mark) as well as real game benchmarks. To ensure real comparability of the results, we pay attention to the correct execution of the benchmarks as well as the condition of the graphics card and the system.

We use the following benchmarks to measure the performance of a graphics card:
