ART-Mark

ART-Mark - Another Ray-Tracing Benchmark

Is an extremely hardware intensive benchmark to evaluate all kinds of different GPUs, power supplies and cooling systems. 

The benchmark is especially designed to bring modern graphics cards with Ray-Tracing support to its knees, but it is also possible to be executed on hardware that does not support Ray-Tracing. In that case the benchmark is simply using Screen-Space and Planar Reflections, rendering for example 7 instead of one viewport to get as close to Ray-Tracing generated effects as possible. 

The tech used to render the reflections is highly configurable and scalable. This could be especially interesting if you are keen to see how classical rendering compares to the modern Ray-Tracing approach. 

Because of its scalability the benchmark is capable of showing the limits of even the newest RTX GPUs without even the need for dedicated DXR support if not available.
