3DMark API Overhead feature test (DLC) 3DMark API Overhead feature test (DLC) 3DMark API Overhead feature test (DLC)
Description
System requirements

Compare the performance of Vulkan, DirectX 12, and DirectX 11. How many draw calls can your PC handle before the frame rate drops below 30 fps?

This test is for people who want to know how fast a graphics API handles draw calls, not just what FPS a game shows. It suits hardware enthusiasts who like comparing setups and digging into where performance actually goes. The highlights: - A direct side-by-side of DirectX 11, DirectX 12 and Vulkan on the same scene, so the difference shows up in the numbers. - You can run it on different graphics cards and processors and see how the results shift. - The add-on works alongside the base 3DMark, so no separate install is needed. - It's a bit of tech history too: the test came out in 2015 with Windows 10 and DirectX 12, and plenty has changed since. To buy 3DMark API Overhead feature test (DLC) as a Steam gift, send us your Steam quick invite link. We'll add you as a friend and send the add-on to your account as a gift. This test is no longer supported. The 3DMark API Overhead feature test was released in 2015 to coincide with the launch of Windows 10 and DirectX 12. The test compares the draw call performance of graphics APIs. At launch, this was the most significant difference between older APIs and new, low-level APIs like DirectX 12 and Vulkan. Today, developers are more likely to choose a graphics API based on feature support and compatibility. Draw call performance is no longer the deciding factor.
