MicroStation Graphics Benchmark
Description
The MicroStation Graphics Benchmark is small stand-alone application designed to gauge how well MicroStation XM and later will perform on your computer. It runs a series of tests designed to validate and score your system, as well as gather other important system information that can impact performance and diagnose problems.

How we use this Information
No personally identifiable information is sent with your submission (unless you opt to place it in the comments field; please note that comments are viewable by everyone). The data in the submission helps Bentley and other users gauge the performance of video cards and systems for MicroStation XM and later. This information can be used for diagnostic purposes, as well as indicating video cards and systems that perform well. This information is treated in accordance with our privacy policy and will be made publicly and freely available.
Results
The results of the benchmark are meant to give an indication of how well MicroStation XM and later will likely perform on your computer. A low result does not necessarily mean MicroStation XM or later will run poorly on your computer, nor does it mean your video card and/or system is inferior. The benchmark's tests do not mimic user interaction exactly, nor do they account for other factors such as large design files or running other MicroStation-based applications. Please use them as rough guidelines for evaluating systems.

View Legacy Results
These are archived results from the previous version of the benchmark (targeted at MicroStation V8 XM Edition). They are kept for reference, and no new data can be submitted with this previous version. They should not be directly compared to the newer results because tests have been modified and added, and the rendering system has been upgraded. Results from the latest version are still relevant for MicroStation V8 XM Edition as cards that perform relatively better with the new benchmark should perform relatively better with MicroStation V8 XM Edition.
