Seasonic Sponsors 3DMark, Logo Appears in New Path-Traced GPU Test

UL Solutions is updating 3DMark with a new GPU benchmarking workflow that highlights the growing importance of modern rendering techniques in PC gaming. This change matters because the new test directly measures how well graphics cards handle path tracing and AI-driven performance boosts. Gamers and hardware reviewers can now see how well their systems handle the most demanding visual effects in real-time.

The new benchmarking workflow relies entirely on path tracing workloads to stress-test graphics processors. It renders scenes at native 4K resolution to provide a clear view of GPU performance under heavy graphical loads. The new benchmarking workflow utilizes path tracing to deliver more realistic lighting and shadow calculations compared to traditional rasterization.

A key feature of this new test is its support for AI upscaling and frame generation technologies. These tools allow GPUs to maintain high frame rates even when rendering complex path-traced scenes. The benchmark evaluates how effectively these technologies integrate with the underlying graphics pipeline.

Power supply manufacturer Seasonic has become a sponsor of the 3DMark benchmarking project. According to UL Solutions, Seasonic's logo will appear in the upcoming new GPU benchmarking process.
