Basemark ES 3.0 is the result of three years of high skilled engineering by Rightware. The product was developed in close cooperation with industry leading device manufacturers and semiconductor companies that are members of Rightware’s Benchmark Development Program, says the company.

  • Built on Rightware’s Kanzi 2.0 engine, which enables the development of visually advanced applications with 2D and 3D content on any platform supporting OpenGL / OpenGL ES standards.
  • Access to up to four simultaneous render targets
  • Ability to apply anti­‐aliasing to render targets and provides more varied internal data types for these buffers such as floating point color targets.
  • Support for 3D textures, instanced rendering, transform feedback and occlusion queries
