Our new achievements reward you for a variety of feats, from setting a legendary score and keeping your components cool to exploring our DirectX 12 Ultimate feature tests and experimenting with custom benchmark settings.



We’ve updated some of the older achievements so they can be unlocked with our newer benchmarks and tests. Lastly, based on your feedback, we’ve removed a few achievements that were either excessively difficult or incompatible with modern hardware trends.

Each card features a character from our most popular benchmarks and tests presented as high-resolution rendered artwork. You can open up each card to view the full, uncropped 1920 × 1080 version of the art.
