How to run a performance benchmark in Marvel Rivals

With the latest mid-season update, a new performance benchmark in Marvel Rivals has been added. It is a tool found in the game settings that can allow you to check your system performance with real-time game scenarios and figure out if and where there is a bottleneck that is making your game run suboptimally. This benchmark tool is also handy for comparing game performance after modifying graphics settings or system optimizations.

This article will go over how players can run a performance benchmark in Marvel Rivals and use it to tune their game to deliver the best possible performance.

This benchmark run, similar to several other games and third-party benchmarking tools, will stress test your system for stability and show performance metrics that can be expected from the system under real-time gameplay scenarios. To avoid bogging the system down while benchmarking or playing Marvel Rivals, make sure you disable active background tasks that may hurt your performance.

The performance benchmark in Marvel Rivals records all the data and saves it in a .csv file on your system. This file can be opened and further assessed for system optimization. It is located in:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Benchmark

If the game is running suboptimally and that reflects in the performance benchmark, consider using upscaling as well as frame generation to boost your performance at the cost of quality, as well as input latency.
