All benchmarks were run on AC power and in High Performance mode. Compositing was disabled using the SUPER+f12 shortcut. Maximum GPU temperature was 73°C and maximum fan volume was 42dB two feet from screen center.
GFXBench tests were run at 1080p offscreen. Unigine Heaven Ultra settings include Ultra preset, 1080p, normal tessellation, and 8x anti-aliasing. Unigine Heaven Medium settings include Medium preset, 1080p, normal tessellation, and 2x anti-aliasing. Basemark settings use high content quality and bc7 compression at 4k (3,840×2,160).
All results show average FPS and Score. If a separate score is not provided by the benchmark, then FPS alone is shown.
