UL Solutions will launch 3DMark Speed Way GPU benchmark on October 12
UL Solutions announced that 3DMark’s new GPU benchmark project “Speed Way” sponsored by Lenovo Legion will officially arrive on October 12, 2022.
From October 12, 2022, when users can purchase 3DMark from the Steam platform or the 3DMark online store, “Speed Way” is already included in the price. Pricing for 3DMark Advanced Editon will increase from $29.99 to $34.99 with the addition of the new GPU benchmarking program
Since the release of “Time Spy” by UL Solutions in 2016, 3DMark users have enjoyed many free updates, including “Time Spy Extreme”, “CPU Profile”, “Wild Life” and several benchmarks showcasing new DirectX features. This time, if the old 3DMark users want to experience “Speed Way”, they need to spend $4.99 to purchase DLC upgrades.
Customers with legacy perpetual licenses will need a new annual license to unlock Speed Way. For users of the original 3DMark Professional Edition, the “Speed Way” update is available for free with a valid annual license.
UL Solutions also reminds Steam users that 3DMark Advanced Editon licenses and “Speed Way” upgrade licenses purchased separately after October 12, 2022, cannot be added to users’ Steam accounts due to policy changes on the Steam platform.
Previously, UL Solutions also launched the XeSS functional test, which can show users the performance impact of XeSS. With the newly introduced XeSS inspection tool, users can also compare the performance and rendering quality before and after XeSS is enabled.
