Free PC Game demo to show off GPU?

[kramertorium]

I'm looking for a way to show off a new PC with a 3080ti, ideally a looping demo of a game that I can leave on screen. Unfortunately I'm not a gamer (IT guy), I don't know much about modern games, so I came here for suggestions.

 

I'm looking for a game with the following requirements:

    PC

    Requires no purchase

    Not playable, just an impressive scene

    Will run at 1080p@60 (while I'm demoing the machine it will be attached to a TV)

 

Ideally, but not required:

    Installable without a launcher (I'd rather not install Steam et al for now)

    Not ridiculously huge storage requirements

    Ability to move around in the game's world; however, just a single location with moving stuff is OK too

    Recently released AAA game

 

You know how Best Buy shows off TVs with a loop of some 4K HDR content (with the brightness cranked up to stupid levels)? I'm looking for that idea (sans ridiculous brightness) -- a looping demo of something "wow!" for people to admire, rather than a benchmark or a video. Because I'll be running the demo at low resolution, it would need to be a very detailed game, something I'd crank all the detail settings to the max.

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Unigine's benchmark have automatic loop but graphics arent really impressive. 3Dmark also has a loop function but you have to pay for the upgrade.

Unigine Superposition is very nice indeed, not a game nor very new though.

Very many requirements though, and Superposition does not fulfill all requirements.

Unigne Superposition I think you have to pay too for looping. You can do Heaven but as stated it does not look very great since it's almost 20 years old or something. It's the only completely free option I can think of though.

I agree wit Superposition. It is one of their newer bench-marking tools.

 

You can find it here: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/unigine-superposition/

 

Check to see if it fits all of your needs.

Meanwhile I tried a few things:

the nvidia Star Wars Elevator tech demo looked good but requires higher resolution

Final Fantasy XV has a free demo but since you can't move around it kinda just feels like a video

 

Uniengine is best so far (thank you!) and that's what I'll go with for now, it looks pretty good and you can switch between the demo and 'gameplay'.

 

I think I'm good unless there's something else that is newer/prettier. What I realize I'd really love, and I doubt exists, is a demo that moves on its own (say, the camera slowly rotates around the player) but you can also move the character.

 

But I'm happy with Uniengine for now.

You could install something like autohkey and make a looping spam click, then launch any game that got a benchmark, then put the spam clic of autohkey on the restart button for benchmark... 

Since I don't think any game got a looping option for benchmark. 

I don't play newer game so I cannot give you a good example of latest game with benchmark, maybe forza horizon demo?

I just realized I've been typing Unigine wrong 

 

FYI Superposition asks for an upgrade if you select 'stress', but 'performance' works fine

Yeah stress is the benchmark looping but if the regular benchmark serve your needs then that's great. The "game" function is kinda funny to try out as well with its physics.
