Futuremark has announced the release of its 3DMark DirectX Ray-tracing test which allows users to evaluate pure ray-tracing performance for next-generation NVIDIA Ampere & AMD RDNA 2 based GPUs. The benchmark allows users with a hardware-accelerated ray-tracing graphics card to figure out how fast their PC is compared to other offerings.

According to Futuremark, today's release marks the end to NVIDIA's monopoly on real-time ray-tracing and lets users with any hardware accelerated ray-tracing capable graphics ard to run and benchmark the performance of their PC. The benchmark is designed specifically to make the ray-tracing a limiting factor and hence, features a scene that is entirely ray-traced and drawn in one pass rather than using traditional rendering techniques.
