DXBenchmark is one of the benchmark utilities specifically designed for the Metro UI of Windows 8 and Windows RT, providing users with a suite of 3D graphics tests that work on all builds of Microsoft’s new OS.

Renamed to GFXBench, the app packs a total of 8 different tests, but also a user-friendly interface to make the whole testing process a breeze for both beginners and those more experienced.

“Using console-quality gaming content, GFXBench 2.7 provides tools for cross-platform 3D graphics benchmarking on all major consumer platforms. GFXBench 2.7 contains high-level 3D animations (GFXBench 2.7 T-Rex HD, GFXBench 2.5 Egypt HD) and low-level graphics measurements,” the Store description reads.

The app is still offered with a freeware license and can be installed not only on x86 and x64 desktop computers and laptops, but also on Windows RT tablets.
