UNIGINE Superposition Benchmark – New Stress Test For Video Cards

After more than half a year of teasing, UNIGINE has finally introduced Superposition Benchmark, a GPU stress-testing tool designed for the latest generation of video cards. Superposition 2017 is said to be a real stress-test for PC hardware with real-life workloads thanks to the UNIGINE 2 Engine. The system requirements for the new extreme performance and stability test require that your system have a at least 7GB of free disk space and an AMD Radeon HD 7000 series, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600 series or Intel HD 5xxx series or newer graphics card with at least 2GB of video memory.

Unigine has uploaded an 4320P (8K) 60 FPS video clip of the benchmark that shows the top-notch visuals that they came up with for the abandoned classroom scene that is littered with inventions and experiments. The benchmark has over 900 interactive objects in it that you are able to explore in free exploration mode and there are even mini-games you can do.

If you want to find out what your GPU is truly capable of, you’ll be happy to learn that the Superposition benchmark is free for the basic version and costs $19.95 for the advanced version. The advanced version gets you the ability to post your scores on online leaderboards, loop the stress test and allow for VR Headset use (HTC Vive & Oculus Rift).

UNIGINE feels that Superposition 2017 sets a new standard for hardware benchmarking and calls this a non-synthetic, accurate, and unbiased stress-test for the latest GPUs already on the market and for those that are still in the earliest design stages. We’ll have to try it out as the AMD Radeon HD 500 series is coming out really soon and might be the perfect set of cards to try this new benchmark out on! UNIGINE plans on adding Vulkan support later, so for now this is a DirectX benchmark test only.
