Futuremark Unveils Firestrike Ultra - The World's First 4K Ultra HD GPU Benchmark

Many new 'potentially-disruptive' display techs accept graced the market and faded abroad into irrelevance; now its 4K UHD's plough to endeavour its hand at the aforementioned. Out of all that take come so far, I would have placed my bet upon 3D Stereoscopic as the ultimate GPU angle fad to follow, only it sadly shrunk to a niche following and proved that I shouldn't ever gamble. Thank you to this new '4k' trend, Firestrike Ultra has been revealed as the first benchmark to exam the UHD capability of GPUs .

Firestrike Ultra Revealed - World'due south Get-go Constructed Criterion for 4K Resolution

I have a picayune problem calling this the kickoff 4k criterion because information technology is relatively piece of cake to strength benchmarks to run on a resolution other than native. Nonetheless, to be fair to Futuremark, this is probably the but one designed to fully test the limitations of Ultra Hard disk drive (though it contains no new scenes). On the off adventure that yous have logged on to the Cyberspace after half a decade and don't know what 4K or Ultra Hd is, allow me to explain. Basically the resolution of 3840x2160 is known every bit UHD (Ultra HD), 2160p or 4K. Whatever takes your fancy.

"Tin can your PC handle the world's first 4K gaming criterion? Fire Strike Ultra'due south 4K UHD rendering resolution is four times larger than the 1080p resolution used in Fire Strike.

A 4K monitor is not required, but your graphics menu must accept at least 3GB of retentivity to run this monstrously demanding benchmark."

• "The world's first 4K gaming benchmark"

• "Renders at 4K UHD resolution (3840 10 2160)"

• "The near demanding 3DMark test ever."

The trouble with this resolution is that it literally has four times the amount of pixels that 1080p has. A GPU volition have a load worth 400% its usual one (bold yous run 1080p), not to mention the various bandwidth and autobus bottlenecks that are incurred at this resolution. It is because of this that a synthetic benchmark to test this resolution was created. Be warned though, even so, that even the highest end GPUs such as GTX 980 and R9 290X who find 1080p a walk in the park, volition cry for their silicon fabs on 4K Synthetic. The organisation requirements list that 3GB worth of VRAM is necessary for the benchmark to run.
