Fixed an issue that could cause the API Overhead feature test to fail at the end of the DirectX 12 test on some systems.

This is a major update that adds Vulkan support to the API Overhead feature test. Benchmark scores are unaffected with the exception of API Overhead feature test, which now produces scores for Vulkan instead of Mantle. New Added Vulkan support to the API Overhead feature test. Use the API Overhead feature test to compare Vulkan, DirectX 12, and DirectX 11 API performance on your PC. The Vulkan test requires compatible video drivers with Vulkan support. Check with your GPU vendor for Vulkan driver support if your hardware is unable to run the test. Note that the Vulkan test replaces the Mantle test found in previous versions of 3DMark. Improved SystemInfo scan time greatly improved on X99 systems. Fixed Fixed an issue that could cause the API Overhead feature test to fail to show a score at the end of an otherwise normal run on some systems. Fixed Time Spy test to properly recover from a corrupted shader cache - if runtime compiled shaders are found to be corrupted, they are deleted and recompiled. Uninstallation also now completely removes the shader cache folder. Fixed a scaling issue that could cause parts of the UI to end up outside the display area on 1080p monitors with 150% DPI scaling. UI will now scale appropriately even on high DPI scaling settings.

This major update adds Time Spy, a new DirectX 12 benchmark test. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit linked multi-adapter, and multi-threading, 3DMark Time Spy is the ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of the latest graphics cards. New Added Time Spy Stress Test - a new dedicated Stress Test for high-performing PCs running on Windows 10. Time Spy Stress Test is not available in 3DMark Basic Edition or 3DMark Time Spy upgrade in Steam. Fixed Fixed an issue that could cause all Stress Test runs to end with 0% score. Fixed an issue that could prevent self-update from working (standalone version only). If you are running 3DMark 2.0.2724 or 2.0.2809 Advanced Edition, you need to download and install the full 2.1 installer to update.
