DirectStorage feature test is free if you already own the Storage Benchmark component for 3DMark. For those that have the standard version of the suite, Storage Benchmark DLC can be purchased separately for measly 3 USD/EUR.

The test focuses on the benefits of Microsoft DirectStorage API, which enables accelerated transfer of game assets from the storage medium to video memory, as well as faster asset decompression. This should result in much quicker level loading times, and a smoother overall experience due to less hitching and more even frame times.

I've already done a detailed analysis of DirectStorage and its contributing factors. It required quite a lot of effort to assess the data and aggregate the results using a spreadsheet, while manipulating specific variables in an app that is meant for developers and not exactly user friendly. But this standardized benchmark needs just one click and a few minutes to run.

Please post a screenshot with your results. I'm also interested in seeing the detailed statistics that the test provides:

The test was performed on the system in my profile. I have no idea why the component fields are blank, it did detect them properly during the benchmark run. In any case, it was a 5800X3D, a 7900XTX with stock clocks, and a 1TB WD Black SN850X.
