This week I’m diving into Final Reality (1997), the legendary benchmark and graphics demo created by Remedy Entertainment before the formation of Futuremark. As the spiritual predecessor to 3DMark99, Final Reality laid the foundation for decades of iconic PC benchmarks.

It’s been about year since my 3DMark retrospective series, so it’s the perfect time to revisit where it all began—this time running on a modern RTX 3060, nearly 25 years newer than the original hardware! Join me as I explore the nostalgic visuals, the demo sequences, and the classic results viewer that helped define a generation of benchmarking.
