Futuremark, the developer of the popular 3DMark and PCMark computing benchmarking suites, has released an update to the former that allows users to run tests at 4K resolution.
The new 4K benchmark is called Fire Strike Ultra, and it’s a more demanding version of Fire Strike, which already was the most stressful test that 3DMark had in its arsenal.
The sweet part of this update is that you don’t need a 4K monitor in order to see if your rig can handle 4K workloads. How? We got some insight from Futuremark.
“3DMark renders the test content internally at 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160),” Futuremark said when speaking to Digital Trends. “This output is then scaled to your Windows desktop display resolution.”
