3DMark Speed Way benchmark

3DMark Advanced Edition – New price from October 12 - $34.99

From October 12 onward, Speed Way will be included in the price when you buy 3DMark from Steam or our own online store.

Since we released Time Spy in 2016, 3DMark users have enjoyed many free updates, including Time Spy Extreme, the 3DMark CPU Profile, 3DMark Wild Life, and multiple tests demonstrating new DirectX features. With the addition of Speed Way, the price of 3DMark on Steam and 3DMark Advanced Edition will go up from $29.99 to $34.99.

3DMark Speed Way Upgrade DLC - $4.99

Owners of 3DMark Advanced Edition and 3DMark on Steam will be able to purchase the Speed Way Upgrade DLC for $4.99 on the UL Solutions website and Steam.

3DMark Professional Edition

Speed Way will be available as a free update for 3DMark Professional Edition customers with a valid annual license. Customers with an older, perpetual Professional Edition license will need to purchase an annual license to unlock Speed Way.

Changes when adding 3DMark standalone licenses to Steam.

Due to a Steam policy change, standalone 3DMark Advanced edition licenses purchased after October 12, 2022, and 3DMark Speed Way upgrade licenses cannot be added to your Steam account.
