Benchmarks: PCMark 10, Unigine Heaven & 3D Mark

PCMark 10 by UL combines performance benchmarking with battery life measurement where applicable and includes tests based on popular Adobe and Microsoft applications. Whether you are looking for long battery life, or maximum power, PCMark 10 will help you find the devices that offer the perfect combination of efficiency and performance for your needs. It's the complete PC performance benchmark for home and business.

A PCMark 10 score of 6956 is well in line with expectations and represents a system well balanced for a mix of productivity tasks and gaming, but falls shorts of the heights of a similar system equipped with an i9-10900KF. The Ryzen-powered Cyberpower Ultra 7 RTX Elite once again easily outclasses it with a combined score of 7963.

3D Mark Time Spy by UL is a DirectX 12 benchmark test for gaming PCs running Windows 10. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, built from the ground up to support new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards.

A Time Spy combined score just above 8700 is roughly on par with expectations given the class of both CPU and GPU.The RTX 3060 Ti impressed us in December, but this system has far more modest aspirations.

Unigine's Heaven 4.0 utility is a performance and stability test for PC hardware: video card, power supply, cooling system. Check your rig in stock and overclocking modes with real-life load! Also includes interactive experience in a beautiful, detailed environment.

While relying on a DirectX 11 API renderer rather than more modern DX12 framework, Heaven 4.0 and DX11 performance is still a relevant metric today.

We’ve maintained Unigine Heaven 4.0 benchmarking at 1440p, with 8x AA and Tesselation set to moderate as a means of straightforward comparison to the Ultra 7 RTX Elite. The score attained do to a certain extent show the RTX 3060’s good rasterisation potential, but also indicate the magnitude to which it would fail to deliver at 1440p.
