GPUScore: Relic of Life

Designed for machines that are equipped with a raytracing capable graphics card, GPUScore: Relic of Life provides a graphics benchmark ready to test the performance of your system. Providing support for both the DirectX 12 and Vulkan 1.2 graphics APIs, this benchmarking tool allows you to compare test results with other systems with a similar configuration.

The benchmark application features a user-friendly interface, with a well-organized menu to the left, allowing one-click access to all the benchmark tests and the results.

Upon launch, it checks to see whether your computer has a graphics device with raytracing support. If an error message is shown, you might have to update your graphics driver prior to using the benchmark.

There are two different tests that GPUScore: Relic of Life comes with. The so-called official test uses a resolution of 2560x1440 and blocks frame skipping automatically. The benchmark renders several content frames for each displayed frame, which might seem that the frame rate is slow.

You can also opt for a custom test, which offers you the freedom to customize the test parameters in case you need to detect specific issues. As such, you can modify the render resolution, the workgroup size, select the graphics API to use and toggle the benchmark mode (to calculate a score and avoid frame dropping) or vertical sync.

The workload content can be previewed in the Experience mode while skipping frames to make everything run smoothly.

The test results are visible in the designed tab and official benchmark tests are automatically submitted to Powerboard 4.0 online score unless you have a corporate license. You can easily compare results to other systems and see your rank.

GPUScore: Relic of Life can assess the performance of a system that uses raytracing, allowing you to save and compare results with ease. Whether you might be running it to evaluate the capabilities of your raytracing-capable system or simply out of curiosity, this benchmark tool is a good option.
