Introducing Evolve

Evolve is designed with a strong focus on “gamelike” workloads and next-generation hardware, delivering highly relevant performance metrics. It provides multiple detailed scores.

That’s why we developed a new engine from the ground up, designed specifically for next-generation hardware, taking full advantage of hardware accelerated ray tracing.

Built by game developers for a wide range of users EVOLVE is all about delivering top-tier results.

Key Features

Multiple Scores

We have scores in various categories, and we can provide detailed breakdowns within each category. Scores are calculated for: acceleration structure build time, ray tracing, rasterization, compute, energy consumption, driver overhead, workgraph execution time

Art and Source Code Access

EVOLVE grants you access to our raw art assets (textures, 3D models, and other resources) as well as the source code, providing peace of mind that your tests can run for an extended period. It also allows you to thoroughly explore and analyze the project to understand why certain behaviors occur.

Technical Support

We provide direct access to our engineers via Slack, ensuring top-tier technical support for quick resolutions and expert guidance. Over the years, we've found that direct communication between technical teams, with minimal red tape, is the most effective approach.

Advisory Board Membership

Joining the Traverse Board of Advisors links you with Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs) and game developers, fostering industry collaboration and offering insights into key trends. Biannual meetings provide a platform for innovation and partnership.

Detailed Reporting

EVOLVE offers detailed reporting, covering timings, energy consumption, and system thermals, allowing you to generate your own graphs and perform in-depth analysis. The data is provided in various formats for easy processing and further exploration.

Early Access for Upcoming Versions

We provide early access to upcoming versions, giving you the opportunity to influence the development process, assess and evaluate changes, and offer suggestions. Your feedback will help shape the final product to better meet your needs.

Test infrastructure support

Our benchmark can be easily integrated into your existing test infrastructure as we provide a significant amount of configurability through the commandline and environment variables.

Benchmark Looping and determinism

EVOLVE supports benchmark looping, enabling repeated runs of the benchmark suite, ideal for "burn-in" or "stress" testing when combined with our deterministic renderer.

Commercial Use

Our commercial use license enables integration with automated test infrastructure, allowing for easy run repetition and the creation of frame captures.

Frequently asked questions

Unlock your computer's potential! Discover the power within with our benchmark test.
Are runs deterministic?

Yes, we verify this in continuous integration for every commit.

Evolve supports a deterministic mode that outputs pixel-exact images for rendered frames.

Can the runs be customized?

Yes, we provide many feature toggles and settings to customize runs.

This helps customers debug issues, adjust effects, and fine-tune performance during internal evaluations.

What are the engineering communication channels like?

Enterprise+ provides direct access to our engineers for first-line support through Slack and email.

If your organization has different requirements, we can customize the support to meet those needs.

Is there an offline mode available?

Yes, both Enterprise and Enterprise + offer an offline mode that has been tested and used in firewalled environments.

Does the CPU time include blocking for the present calls?

The CPU time displayed in the top left includes the blocking wait time and processor yield during the wait for the swapchain.

Is EVOLVE a Pay-to-Win system?

No, all participants in the Benchmark Partnership Program (BPP) have equal opportunities. Scores will only count for the high score list if submitted with a WHQL driver.

Is it possible to opt out of submitting scores?

Yes, our Enterprise and Enterprise+ tiers allow you to opt out of highscore submission and can operate fully offline.

Can it be integrated with our pre- and post-silicon environments?

Our engineers will assist with integrating EVOLVE into your testing and validation pipelines as needed. EVOLVE has a proven track record of running successfully in both pre- and post-silicon environments.

Does EVOLVE support both inline and pipeline ray tracing techniques?

Yes, it can be customized for each render pass. We’ve built several rendering algorithms from scratch, supporting both pipeline and inline ray tracing.

Can the benchmark be run in a fixed time step and frame count?

Our advanced, enterprise and enterprise+ versions will have this feature, and it is configurable on the command line.

We can also fast-forward, reverse through a run, and jump to a specific frame in the command line.

We don’t limit delta time and run frame-unlocked in the consumer version to ensure that everyone has the same length for a run through the benchmark.

Why does the frame index increment faster than the actual framerate?

This is expected. It’s designed this way to make it easier to correlate frames, jump to frames for repeated execution, etc.
