EzBench uses the latest Unreal Engine version 5, high-resolution 8K textures and ray tracing, pushing even modern graphics cards to their limits. The developers state that the benchmark itself can challenge a GeForce RTX 3090 (test) and fully utilize it.
Unreal Engine 5 benchmark with high requirements
The benchmark can be downloaded for free via Steam and includes a total download of 20 GB of data. Norwegian game developer Eztheory AS promises a “next-gen graphics benchmark” and “theater-quality assets” that will “make even a GeForce RTX 3090 sweat”.
The benchmark's official system requirements are as follows:
- Core i-7000 (“Kaby Lake”)*< /li>
- 16 GB RAM
- 8 GB graphics memory
- GeForce GTX 1080**
- DirectX 12
*/**) or equivalent from AMD
Recommended system requirements are much higher and call for powerful up-to-date Hardware:
- Core i-10000 (“Comet Lake”)*
- 32 GB RAM
- 8 GB graphics memory
- GeForce RTX 3000**
- DirectX 12
*/**) or an equivalent from AMD
Ampere is clearly ahead thanks to raytracing
While an AMD Ryzen 9 3900 XT (test), 32 GB RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti achieve around 22,200 points in Full HD in EzBench, an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT ends up at around 13,800 points. An Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 together with a hybrid Intel Core i9-12900K (test) scores more than 39,000 points.

No comparison to UE 5 games and tech demos
In terms of graphics, EzBench clearly lags behind previous tech demos and game announcements based on Unreal Engine 5. The results of the benchmark are therefore to be regarded as consistent, at least according to the current status, but not very meaningful with regard to future games based on the graphics engine.
The editors still contacted the developer Eztheory AS asked about ray tracing and whether it is limited to Turing, Ampere and RDNA 2.
Great work! One Question: Could you detail “uses raytracing”? That is hardware accelerated ray tracing? Is it on when running on RDNA 2/Turing/Ampere only?
