3DMark Time Spy is a synthetic DirectX benchmark test from Futuremark. It features a DirectX 12 engine built from the ground up to support bleeding-edge features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multithreading. Time Spy is designed to test the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards using a variety of techniques and varied visual sequences. This benchmark was developed with input from AMD, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and the other members of the Futuremark Benchmark Development Program, to showcase the performance and visual potential of graphics cards and other system resources driven by close-to-the-metal, low-overhead APIs.

The PowerColor RX 5700 XT Red Devil clearly outpaces
AMD's reference RX 5700 XT here, whether using the OC or Silent BIOS modes. Even with its improved performance, however, it can't quite catch the GeForce RTX 2070. It easily beats the RTX 2060 Super, though.

3DMark Fire Strike has multiple benchmark modes: Normal mode runs at 1920x1080, Extreme mode targets 2560x1440, and Ultra mode runs at a 4K resolution. GPU target frame buffer utilization for normal mode is 1GB and the benchmark uses tessellation, ambient occlusion, volume illumination, and a medium-quality depth of field filter. The more taxing Extreme mode targets 1.5GB of frame buffer memory and increases detail levels across the board. Ultra mode is explicitly designed for high-end and CrossFire / SLI systems and cranks up the quality even further. GT 1 focuses on geometry and illumination, with over 100 shadow casting spot lights, 140 non-shadow casting point lights, and 3.9 million vertices calculated for tessellation per frame. GT2 emphasizes particles and
GPU simulations.

In the more demanding Fire Strike Ultra 4K DX11 benchmark, the PowerColor RX 5700 XT Red Devil performed particularly well and nearly caught the
GeForce RTX 2080. Note the PowerColor RX 5700 XT Red Devil's increased clocks allowed it to overtake the RTX 2070 Super, whereas the reference card could not.
