Meet 3DMark Solar Bay, a new ray tracing graphics test that works on both Windows PCs and Android devices (since those are apparently getting versions of high-powered GPU tech). On Android, the test is available for free via Google Play, while it’s available for those who purchase 3DMark on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, or directly from the publisher, UL Solutions.
Solar Bay complements our heavier ray tracing benchmarks, Port Royal and Speed Way, on PC. With Solar Bay, 3DMark has a great range of ray tracing workloads, making it an excellent way to measure how your Windows or Android device’s ray tracing performance scales.
Videocardz gave the tests a run on a PC with an Nvidia 4090 GPU and Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra — the desktop GPU scored about 24.5x higher.
