Included in PerformanceTest is the Advanced 3D graphics test which allows users to change the tailor the settings of the 3D tests to create one to suit their testing needs. 3D Graphics technology has come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years and these tests can help measure how fast 3D images can be created and displayed.

The 2020 M+R Benchmarks Study has officially launched! Take off on a far-reaching voyage to explore what’s working in the nonprofit universe, shine a light on the most important trends, and help you chart your course forward in these challenging times. The complete set of data and insights is available at mrbenchmarks.com. Click the “Nameservers” tab to select the main benchmark display and data pages. Click the “Run Benchmark” button (it may take a moment to become enabled). Click and read the “Conclusions” tab after the benchmark completes. Unless you're a super-guru, PLEASE really do read the “Conclusions” tab once the benchmark has completed. UserBenchmark is a very popular benchmark software, and it brags with over 20 million downloads so far and almost 30 million PCs tested. Just visit TestMy.net in your devices default web browser or use TestMy.net to highlight performance differences between different mobile browsers. TMN is a great iPad and iPhone speed test because flash and other plug-ins aren't required.

Microsoft provides a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) called DirectX, which allow developers to create games and other high-performance multimedia applications. DirectX provides support for two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) graphics, sound effects, music, input devices, and networked applications such as multiplayer games.

The Advanced 3D Graphics Test has been designed to benchmark the how well your video card performs when using the most common features of DirectX. It renders a number of scenes to the screen in windowed or full screen mode. As such, PerformanceTest requires DirectX version 9 or above. With DirectX 10, 11 and 12 tests being available if you are using a compatible video card and required version of Windows.

Apart from individual graphics card speeds and abilities, the test illustrates a single video card's drop in performance as the rendered scene becomes more complex. A scene with more objects, more textures and more DirectX features implemented may well look more impressive, but will more than likely result in a reduction in frame rate

Many of the rendering options for the scene can be selected by the user.
