3DMark Solar Bay Extreme
Description
Solar Bay Extreme is a heavy cross-platform raytracing benchmark for powerful lightweight devices.
Solar Bay Extreme takes our Solar Bay benchmark and turns up the heat. It significantly increases the existing raytracing workload with additional raytracing implementations such as ray-traced specular reflections for all surfaces and glass reflections and ray-traced soft shadows for directional light.
Not only is there new raytracing features, but the Solar Bay scene has also been expanded. An additional assembly bay has opened next to the original area – where a rival team is competing to build their array faster.
Features:
Find out how your PC performs in a demanding ray traced gaming workload.
Upload your results to the 3DMark high scores to compare with millions of other 3DMark users.
Test how performance over time changes with the Solar Bay Extreme stress test and find out if your PC performance is throttled.
