3DMark Cloud Gate benchmark DLC

Not very useful for a high end system.

Pretty and quick little test you can enjoy running smoothly.

Is this a re-brand of the Sling Shot benchmark. Looks familiar.

it sure does cloud gate my benchmark or something

good for testing laptops and other temp high devices.

It's just for old low-end devices now, but it's fine nonetheless.

I have a fair few items in my library. Some I have played, a lot not even installed. So from now on I will install, and play each item for at least an hour. These will be my first impressions not full on reviews as an hour is not a great deal of time. So please keep this in mind. Also keep in mind these are MY impressions I do not expect you all to agree so don’t shoot me. For me 3DMark is a good little program for checking what your pc can do. That’s it to be honest. Yes when it’s checking your GPU the videos are great to watch, but once you watched once well you seen it. The only reason I have over 3hrs on this, is that I left it running while I went out one day. Do I recommend this hmm tough choice. If you tinker often with your GPU setting etc. than yes it’s a nice looking program. If you’re not and you just want to see what your GPU can do then no. You will use 2 or 3 times and then like me you’re happy with your settings that’s it. So if you can get this at a heavy reduced cost, then get it. If not they are plenty not so pretty programs out there, that do the same job for free.

So this is going to be a copy-paste review for a couple of the tests, since they decided to stop "supporting" them all of a sudden.... In the past I used these to trouble shoot a 5870 with a "broken" core, would only fail under very specific circumstances in games, but reliably in the 3DMark tests (also, specific points). Now they no longer let you run the tests, so there goes all the backwards compatibility.... How will older game X run on newer set of hardware Y compared to Z? Well you're out of luck, because you can't test it anymore with this software... This leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I spend more time than needed in this piece of software to unlock some wacky things :/ Ps. This demo was actually one I enjoyed seeing for some weird reason :/

Another good test to try, I recommend getting all the dlc in a pack, you save some big money and have a lot to play with
