Moore Threads MTT S80 Graphics Card Tested (3DMark, FurMark) *** UPDATED with Graphics Driver 290.100 ***

I own a MTT S80 for more or less one year but I never took the time to publish benchmark scores. With the latest graphics driver PES 270.90 alpha that brings Direct3D 12 and OpenGL 4.2 support on the table, I think it’s time to run some benchmarks: 3DMark (Steel Nomad, Time Spy, Night Raid and Fire Strike) as well as FurMark 2.4.

 
MTT S80 test bench:
– Intel Core i5 11600K @ 3.9 GHz
– 32GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz
– Windows 10 64-bit 22H2
– graphics driver: PES 270.90 alpha

 
An overview of the MTT S80 with GPU Shark 2:

 
The MTT S80 has a big problem: at idle, the graphics card consumes more than 100W (116W exactly) and the GPU core clock is always at 1800MHz. Probably a driver issue.

 

3DMark Steel Nomad

3DMark Steel Nomad is a Direct3D 12 benchmark for high-end gaming PCs running on Windows 10 and 11. Steel Nomad measures GPU performance using a non-ray traced game-like workload. The graphics card must have at least 6GB of VRAM to run this test. The rendering resolution is 3840×2160.

Here is the MTT S80 score:

 

3DMark Time Spy

3DMark Time Spy is a Direct3D 12 benchmark test for gaming PCs running Windows 10. Time Spy includes two Graphics tests and a CPU test. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports 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. The rendering resolution is 2560×1440.

Here is the MTT S80 score:

 

3DMark Night Raid

3DMark Night Raid is a Direct3D 12 benchmark for laptops, notebooks, tablets and other mobile computing devices with integrated graphics. 3DMark Night Raid includes two Graphics tests and a CPU test. The rendering resolution is 1920×1080.

Here is the MTT S80 score:

 

3DMark Fire Strike

3DMark Fire Strike is a Direct3D 11 benchmark for gaming PCs. Fire Strike includes two Graphics tests, a Physics test and a Combined test that stresses both the CPU and GPU. The rendering resolution is 1920×1080.

Here is the MTT S80 score:

 

FurMark 2.4

FurMark 2.4 is an OpenGL and Vulkan graphics benchmark and a GPU stress test utility. Vulkan is not yet supported by MTT S80 driver. But no problem with OpenGL! Let test the P1080 (1920×1080) and P2160 (3840×2160) benchmarks.

Since the MTT S80 driver supports now Direct3D 12, I hope the Vulkan support will follow quickly.

MTT S80 P1080 score. This new graphics driver (270.90) improves the OpenGL score: from 1506 points (25 FPS) with previous 270.80 driver, we jump to 2261 points (37 FPS): +48% perfs boost! I’m sure the MTT driver team can do better!

MTT S80 P2160 score:

 

(2025.02.21) – FurMark 2.5 + driver v290.100

Moore Threads has published the PES driver 290.100 for the MTT S80. This driver brings a HUGE boost in OpenGL performance. The OpenGL P1080 score is now 3910 (65 FPS). It’s a boost of 100%! Some slowdown loops have been removed from driver’s code…
