![]() The Game mode has similar settings but it is an interactive benchmark, i.e., it's a game. It also lets you save the benchmark in a score file. You can choose to save a screenshot of the result screen by hitting the camera icon. When the benchmark is completed you will the results screen which displays your computer's score, FPS, the chosen settings and your machine's configuration. You can wait for it to complete or hit escape at anytime to exit it. The FPS (minimum, average and maximum) are displayed in the top right corner along with details about the benchmark progress added to the section. The benchmark is quite resource intensive as it should be and I could barely get over 17 FPS (frame rate per second). Since mine is a fairly old business laptop (my gaming PC is dead), I chose to run the low preset. Hit the Run button when you are ready to start the Superposition benchmark. The VRAM bar shows you the amount of video ram that is used and the total amount of video memory that is available on your computer. ![]() So, if you're wondering how many frames you will get in a modern AAA game on your rig, you can choose the preset that you wish to test in the benchmark for a rough estimate. Note: The low, medium, etc are similar to the graphics settings that you may choose in games. This allows you to select whether you want the benchmark to run in fullscreen mode, the resolution you want to use, shader quality, texture quality, depth of field and motion blur. If you want to tweak those, you'll need to choose the Custom preset. You may have noticed that the other options in this section are grayed out. You can select a graphics preset from the following options: Custom, 720p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p extreme, 4K optimized and 8k optimized, and it also lets you pick DirextX and OpenGL for the graphics. The Performance test is sort of the heart of the program. The main tab - benchmark - lists 3 sub-options: Performance, VR Ready and Stress. ![]() Superposition's interface is straight-forward as it features three tabs and a handful of icons. Do remember to close other applications while running any benchmarking application. The basic version supports VR, so if you have a VR setup you can try it out. Only the basic version of the tool is free, the Advanced and Professional editions are paid. Tip: check out other benchmarking software that we reviewed in the past such as Novabench, PCMark Basic, or Maxon Cinebench.īefore we get started, let me get some things out of the way. ![]() Superposition is a free benchmarking tool that you can use to check the gaming performance of your machine. I normally use such tools only when I overclock a GPU, when I make tweaks that may have a considerable impact, or when I experience crashes on a computer. They can give you a general idea of how powerful your computer is and test the stability of your graphics card, or temperature levels of core components such as the GPU or processor. ![]()
