3DMark Time Spy

Rendered at QHD or UHD resolutions and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a modern 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in today's latest games.

GeForce GTX 1650 Super and Radeon RX 5500 XT are almost exactly on par in the synthetic 3DMark Time Spy test, but pricing can be key at this end of the market and the GeForce is crucially cheaper. AMD's 4GB model could do with matching the GeForce on price, while the 8GB RX 5500 XT, expected to arrive in UK stores at £180, can't get close enough to GTX 1660 cards that are readily available for similar money.
