3DMark Timespy
Time Spy is a DirectX 12 benchmark test for gaming PCs running Windows 10 and above only. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, built from the ground up to support the latest API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal benchmark for testing the DirectX 12 performance of modern graphics cards and is typically a good benchmark for mid-to-high-end hardware. Furthermore, Timespy Extreme is designed for 4K performance testing.
3DMark is available on Steam here.

In Time spy we saw similar results to in Firestrike, sitting above some other RTX 3050s but below older cards like the RTX 2060 and the GTX 1660 Ti.
3DMark Timespy Extreme
Compared to Firestrike Ultra, Time Spy Extreme has the GTX 16 series cards above all of the RTX 3050 cards that we tested, and it also fell far behind the lower specced RTX 2060 from last generation.
