This content requires the base application 3DMark on Steam in order to run.

## About This Content
This optional upgrade is only for people who bought 3DMark before January 8,
2019.

To use this content, you need the Windows 10 October 2018 Update and a
graphics card that supports Microsoft DirectX Raytracing. The NVIDIA DLSS
feature test additionally requires an NVIDIA graphics card that supports DLSS,
such as a GeForce RTX series, Quadro RTX series or TITAN RTX. You must also
have the latest NVIDIA drivers for your graphics card.
## Port Royal benchmark
3DMark Port Royal is the world’s first real-time ray tracing benchmark for
gamers. It shows you how well your PC handles ray tracing effects in real-
time, a taste of what to expect from games in 2019. Use Port Royal to
benchmark graphics cards that support Microsoft DirectX Raytracing. Compare
Port Royal benchmark scores to see how overclocking affects ray tracing
performance. Find your PC’s performance limits with custom benchmark settings
and detailed hardware monitoring charts.
## Port Royal Stress Test
Check the reliability and stability of your system after buying or building a
new PC, upgrading your graphics card or overclocking your GPU. Stress testing
can also identify faulty hardware and a need for better cooling.
## Compatibility
3DMark Port Royal was developed with input from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and other
leading technology companies. We worked especially closely with Microsoft to
create a first-class implementation of the DirectX Raytracing API. Port Royal
will run on any graphics card that supports DirectX Raytracing. As with any
new technology, there are limited options for early adopters, but more cards
are expected to get DirectX Raytracing support in 2019.
## NVIDIA DLSS feature test
Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is an NVIDIA RTX technology that uses the
power of deep learning and AI to improve game performance while maintaining
visual quality. This feature test helps you compare performance and image
quality with and without DLSS.
