Port Royal will run on any graphics card with drivers that support DirectX Raytracing. We worked especially closely with Microsoft to create a first-class implementation of the DirectX Raytracing API. 3DMark Port Royal was developed with input from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and other leading technology companies. As well as benchmarking performance, 3DMark Port Royal is a realistic and practical example of what to expect from ray tracing in upcoming games-ray tracing effects running in real-time at reasonable frame rates at 2560 × 1440 resolution. Port Royal uses DirectX Raytracing to enhance reflections, shadows, and other effects that are difficult to achieve with traditional rendering techniques. Real-time ray tracing promises to bring new levels of realism to in-game graphics. Don't be surprised if your frame rates are low as 3DMark tests are very demanding. Each test gives a score, which you can use to compare similar devices and systems. The more powerful your hardware, the smoother the tests will run. 3DMark works by running intensive graphical and computational tests on your hardware.
