For a full hardware workout, visit https://benchmarks.ul.com for our system warm-up and stress test of choice. We have now switched to a full 20-minute run of Speed Way stress test to warm up our graphics cards as well as capture our clock speed chart.

For benchmarking methodology please see our game benchmarking method guide.

Test results are gathered and produced on CapFrameX. This makes it easier for use to get both line graph comparison and raw averages without extra tools. Simply the easiest tool for benchmarking and it’s available for everyone to use, free of charge. Check it out at capframex.com.

Since this is a GPU review, we benchmarked the area of the games that put a heavy load on the GPU.

All our test runs are repeatable, click the links below for area and details. Read our benchmarking methodology.

For Q1 2025 we’re using these sets of games:

• Counter-Strike 2: Mirage map custom scene
• DOTA2 – Dacha Dubai 2024: Xtreme Gaming vs. Team Liquid [56:25]
• PUBG Battlegrounds – Custom Scene
• Rainbow Six Siege: in-game benchmark
• Call of Duty Black Ops 6 – in-game benchmark
• Baldur’s Gate 3 – Lower City area custom loop
• Black Myth Wukong – Forest of Wolves loop (just past Wandering Wight, along the stream) [RT]
• Cyberpunk 2077 – in-game benchmark [RT]
• F1 2024 – Singapore, night time, wet (in-game benchmark) [RT]
• Ghost of Tsushima – Kushi Temple
• Hogwarts Legacy – Hogsmeade Square loop [RT]
• Horizon Forbidden West – Devil’s Grasp loop
• The Last of Us Part I – Game prologue, town panic area
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Remastered – Financial District ground-level
• Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 – Melbourne discovery
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – Nefarious City loop
• Resident Evil 4 [RT] – Custom scene
• Starfield – Wilderness outside of Jamison

• Marvel Rivals
• Monster Hunter Wilds
• Stellar Blade
• Delta Force

See our Youtube playlist for benchmark sequences.

Note: Proprietary technologies that favor one brand to the other are disabled unless specified and to maintain uniformity amongst GPUs, these have been turned OFF. Ray tracing has its own dedicated performance section. Upscaling technologies are covered in separate articles e.g. game review, performance, etc.

For this test, only the out-of-box normal mode will be tested. Cards that have dual BIOSes for Quiet and Performance will be tested in Performance mode.

Notes:

• All data are gathered from exactly the same system, with exactly the configuration we list here. No data is reused from another system or from any variations. We gather data from only one system as indicated here.
• Graphics cards are allowed to heat up prior to benchmarking. Cooler graphics cards may boost higher than normal.
• Following up on the above, we try to enjoy the game and play a bit before proceeding to the actual benchmark scenario. This allows us to detect any other problems like stuttering, frame skipping, or any other problems before recording data.
• Games that receive graphical updates that affect performance like DOTA2 moving from DX9 to DX11, Rainbow Six Siege changing its detail presets, or any big patch that affect performance in genera,l etc. will be retested completely.
