Superposition Benchmark is a benchmarking software based on the UNIGINE Engine. The benchmark was developed and published by UNIGINE Company in 2017. The main purpose of software is performance and stability testing for GPUs. Users can choose a workload preset, Low to Extreme, or set the parameters by custom. The benchmark 3D scene is an office of a fictional genius scientist from the middle of the 20th century. The scene is GPU-intensive because of SSRTGI (Screen-Space Ray-Traced Global Illumination), proprietary dynamic lighting technology by Unigine.
Superposition and other benchmarks by Unigine are often used by hardware reviewers to measure graphics performance (PCMag,{{Cite web|title=Zotac GeForce GTX 1660 Super Twin Fan Review|url=https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/zotac-geforce-gtx-1660-super-twin-fan|access-date=2021-11-02|website=PCMAG|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Review|url=https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-super|access-date=2021-11-02|website=PCMAG|language=en}}{{Cite web|last=Stobing|first=Chris|date=2020-09-18|title=How We Test Graphics Cards|url=https://uk.pcmag.com/graphic-cards/123010/how-we-test-graphics-cards|access-date=2021-11-02|website=PCMag UK|language=en-gb}} Digital Trends,{{Cite web|date=2021-09-03|title=How to Increase Your Gaming Performance Without a New GPU|url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-increase-pc-gaming-performance-for-free/|access-date=2021-11-02|website=Digital Trends|language=en}}{{Cite web|date=2021-08-21|title=The Best GPU Benchmarking Software for 2021|url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-gpu-benchmarking-software/|access-date=2021-11-02|website=Digital Trends|language=en}}{{Cite web|date=2020-11-18|title=AMD Radeon RX 6800, 6800 XT Review Roundup|url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-rx-6800-6800-xt-review-roundup/|access-date=2021-11-02|website=Digital Trends|language=en}} Lifewire{{cite web|last=Martindale|first=Jon |title=How Good is Your GPU?
