There is no doubt that Ray Tracing is the future, mainly due to the fact that it solves the problem of indirect lighting. However, it is a technology that requires a lot of power in the graphics card and changes in the architecture. Well, a new benchmark has appeared to measure the performance of our graphics card under ray tracing called EzBench.
At the moment, Ray Tracing is something optional, but those of us familiar with its potential know very clearly that this is the future of PC graphics. And it is that it allows to represent the behavior of the light in the scene in a more realistic way. Which translates to improvements in things like shadows, reflections, and even material rendering. The problem? This increases the computing power needed for a graphics card and is currently only available to a lucky few.
However, it has become one of the most important points when deciding which graphics card to choose. And that’s why benchmarks that measure the performance of a GPU when running a scene with Ray Tracing are of great importance. Well, to the list of already known ones we can add one more.
EzBench, GPU benchmark based on Unreal Engine 5
the Unreal Engine 5 It was recently officially announced and so far we haven’t seen any games in the market that use it. Which is normal considering the short time that has elapsed. However, it works for creating simpler tools. As is the case with EzBench
This is a stress test, so it presents the graphics card with a situation where your GPU should give 100%. So it doesn’t serve as a clue as to whether our graphics card will perform better or worse in games. Since the graphics load that EzBench places on the graphics card it is not intended to reach high frame rates
- GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: 22,200 points.,
- Radeon RX 6700XT 13,800 points.
- GeForce RTX 3090: 39,000 points.
The results were obtained with a AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT con 32 GB RAM. So a better processor should get higher results. In any case, given the limitations of the RX 6000 against Ray Tracing, the inferior result of the AMD graphics card should not surprise us. Another detail to consider The application when using 8K textures requires a large amount of video memory, 8 GB. This makes many graphics cards unable to run the benchmark.
In case you want the benchmark on your PC and see what the result is you can find it on steamher size? 20 GB.
