UL Benchmarks Unveils 3DMark "Port Royal" Ray-tracing Benchmark
Port Royal is the name of the latest component of UL Benchmarks 3DMark. Designed to take advantage of the DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API, this benchmark features an extreme poly-count test-scene with real-time ray-traced elements. Screengrabs of the benchmark depict spacecraft entering and leaving mirrored spheres suspended within a planet's atmosphere, which appear to be docks. It's also a shout out to of a number of space-sims such as "Star Citizen," which could up their production in the future by introducing ray-tracing. The benchmark will debut at the GALAX GOC Grand Final on December 8, where the first public run will be powered by a GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti HOF graphics card. It will start selling in January 2019.

they should be short like 2-3 minutes max, and be fun, cool
the last one i remember sort of cool was fur cat from guru3d or something like that, opengl cat dx11, a big cat with lasers and dubstep lol
but 3dmark benchs are the most boring ones and unigine too
the max paine bench from 2001 was nice
Although, this benchmark will probably have changed a lot by then...
No wonder this looks light on actual RT content, have to keep nGreedia and the 2070 owners happy!
Also, how come the smaller spheres do not reflect anything other than the skybox? The two smaller spheres should have reflections of the bigger one on them, as well as the ship? My last remark is that the reflection also looks low-res and blocky. Not much going on there at all, to be honest.Shouldn't that link to Taylor Swift's homepage? Anyway, this is big people having an opinion, and they may differ from yours, so maybe best to stay on her homepage, and hate the haters. Be fierce!
do we have to be on the same line? o_Osorry i couldn't resist. lol.
what exactly are they going to bench? 2080 vx 2070?
i sort of hate 3dmark, they dont even have the installer on their website, their demos are so boring and mocap is bad when there are humans.
at least the old ati x800 x850 1950 xt2000 demos were nice, i still watch them and enjoy it
More humor than hate and you know it would make for interesting video if it really did go down like that, putting the ( ! ) to these issues.
I can see the mad scramble now to put it out...... With the world watching.
You don't see this at W9 or OCF bonesy....demographics are a bit different. :)
HGH baby... studies prove!
Anyway, It will be nice to check it out and see what it has to offer here in a few days.
