3DMark Time Spy

Homepage: futuremark.com | Publisher: Futuremark | Download: Free basic edition

Rendered at QHD or UHD resolutions and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a modern 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in today's latest games.

Performance doesn't start off as well as expected in the popular 3DMark Time Spy test. Admittedly almost 20 per cent faster than RX Vega 64 at the same resolution, rival RTX 2080 FE shows it a clean pair of heels.

More damning is the lack of consistency between runs, where the Radeon VII fails to meet the 97 per cent threshold necessary for a pass.
