Graphics expertise.
Engineered into software.

DVS Engineered Reality was founded in 2026 by Dominick Strippoli. After retiring from the family business and facing a serious illness, he found a creative outlet and a way to cope with his health challenges in building an IT startup. DVS Engineered Reality is his second IT startup in seven years, growing from a lifelong connection with computers and a determination to keep creating.

His experience spans retail, network engineering and programming, with an interest in computing that began in childhood. GPU technology has always been a particular passion. For years, he dreamed of creating his own 3D modeled world and benchmark utility, and he saw an opportunity to bring another perspective to a specialist field.

He wanted to take a hands-on approach: rather than commissioning another 3D modeling studio or relying on a ready-made game engine such as Unreal Engine, he chose Blender for world building and 3D modeling, with a custom renderer developed in Visual Studio using DirectX 12 Ultimate.

Dominion Benchmark is the first expression of that ambition. A Standard 1440p hardware ray tracing benchmark for dedicated NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards is planned for a worldwide audience. Plans also include downloadable content for 4K and 8K Extreme editions of this initial ray tracing benchmark.

Software, hardware and business IT.

Alongside its 3D visual design and world modeling work, DVS Engineered Reality develops general-purpose and data center software and provides physical hardware upgrades and IT and network support for small to large-sized businesses.

DVS Engineered Reality currently has a local Long Island team of young hardware enthusiasts, graphic designers and network engineers, working together to build the company on a part-time basis. Team members often contribute their time without pay, driven by a shared passion for the work.
