by ddos ·

The last benchmark from UL Benchmarks for high-performance graphics cards was Port Royal, the first benchmark to support real-time ray tracing, at that time, only NVIDIA’s Turing graphics cards supported this function, and this test was basically prepared for these graphics cards and did not use all the functions of the DirectX 12 Ultimate API. So it’s time for a new benchmark, too.

The new Speed ​​Way benchmark takes advantage of all the features of DirectX 12 Ultimate, including real-time ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading. The tests used ray tracing and real-time global illumination to render realistic lighting and reflections.

As for when it will be, there is no specific statement, but it will be later this year.
