Last month, unreal engine 5 (ue5) became generally available (GA). Using the existing tool set, a small developer team designed a GPU benchmark, which can be used to test the ability of computer GPU to evaluate how well they are prepared to deal with the next generation engine and its basic features and technologies The benchmark tool is called "ezbench", but this is not because it is an easy to run test. In fact, it is far from so
Because ezbench has ray tracing function and many other complex graphic effects. The reason for the name is that the tool is named after Ezekiel Hauge (Twitter: @ eztheory), one of the developers. The other three developers are Chris Luca (Twitter: @ fliplucca), Pablo mu ñ oz (Twitter: @ shikopaleta) and Marius Andre Elsas.
Due to the 8K texture built in the new benchmark, the developers suggest that the GPU has at least 8GB VRAM, which means that the GPU with low VRAM and low PCIe bandwidth, such as RX 6500 XT, will be a painful process to test.
Here's a glimpse of the ezbench benchmark:
Ezbench described on steam that:
This is a free benchmarking tool using the next generation technology of unreal engine 5.
Test your computer against 8K textures, movie quality assets, and ray tracing.
We strongly recommend using a graphics card with at least 8GB of video memory.
Will bring challenges to any computer. Although it can also run on low-end systems, this test will also make your RTX 3090 ashamed.
The developer also provided a screenshot of geforce RTX 3090 computer, which ran at a frame rate of 35fps in combination with Intel Core i9-12900k.
If you have confidence in your computer, you can try ezbench test. Please go to steam to download the software, but it should be noted that this is not an official fantasy engine benchmark:
