this dose not seem to display and run properly, a short 'multi-screen effect shows and the run ends quickly with super high score,
my NVIDIA driver is 536.99 on a 3080 10GB with ryzen 3700X
my screen resolution is 2560 x 1440,i tried with 3dmark set to auto scale or 2560 x 1440 (16:9) scaling.

That is the Unlimited mode that exists mostly for Android use for future devices that may otherwise render the test fast enough to hit VSync cap that cannot be overridden on Android).

Run the normal mode instead, the upper Run button in orange.

So I currently have the world record and a legendary score of 211384 in this addon and still the achievement for a legendary score wont unlock.
I really like this test because it shows that a ray traced scene can be optimized enough to run on a phone. The Samsung S23 Ultra gets around 20 FPS average in this, but I would love to see FSR 2 and VRS tier 2 get added to drive home the point about even phones being able to run a RT scene if optimized well enough whereas many AAA games with less RT run poorly even on an RTX 3080.

Also the S23 Ultra should beat the GTX 1080 Ti by around 3-4x in this I believe, and considering current gen consoles (which are now old) are far more powerful than the S23 Ultra, and most Steam users have either the GTX 1060 or 1650, that really puts in perspective what the weakest platform really is!

If you are seeing a crash, close RTSS.exe and try again. It appears to be incompatible.

If you are seeing an issue without RTSS.exe running, email us at ul.benchmarksupport@ul.com and include the failed result file from Documents/3DMark/

Not certain what you are talking about, Solar Bay is a free update to owners of 3DMark Advanced Edition.

Thanks, that fixed it!

The Android version doesn't run on my Galaxy Z Flip 3 (foldable S21 with Snapdragon 888) even on the latest version of Android 13 released by Samsung, the app says that the Vulkan extensions required aren't supported on my device.

Does this only run on Galaxy S23 series (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) or equivalent phones?
