Max out Macs with 3DMark for macOS
Today, we’re very excited to bring 3DMark to macOS gamers around the world.
Since we launched 3DMark Steel Nomad Light, we found that 1/6 of all iOS app submissions were from macOS devices. Running an iOS application on a macOS device can negatively affect scores on some benchmarks, especially when run on some more powerful Macs, as iOS application maximum frame rates are limited to the system's display refresh rate.
3DMark for macOS is a full native macOS application, and the best way to benchmark the gaming performance of the latest Macs with 3DMark. It not only includes the Wild Life Extreme, Solar Bay, and Steel Nomad Light benchmarks, it also brings the even heavier Steel Nomad Benchmark, previously only available on Windows. These benchmarks all run natively using the Metal API, and are fully comparable with results from Windows, iOS, and Android devices.
As with Windows, owners of 3DMark will gain access to additional features:
- Explorer Mode for Steel Nomad and Steel Nomad Light, where you can freely explore the benchmark scenes, edit camera controls to take the perfect background image for your Mac, and even find many secrets hidden by the 3DMark development team.
- Save your macOS results to your 3DMark.com account, for sharing or comparing performance over time.
- Enable sound for a more immersive experience when benchmarking.
- Use custom mode to run benchmarks at different resolutions, loop benchmark runs or enable HDR to make scenes pop even more.
- Earn Achievements on Steam.
You can even use a game controller to navigate around Explorer mode!
Available now on Steam
You can get 3DMark for macOS from Steam now. 3DMark for macOS will be coming soon to the Epic Games Store or directly from UL solutions at 3DMark.com
If you already own 3DMark, you will automatically get 3DMark for macOS as well. Likewise, any future purchase of 3DMark or a 3DMark upgrade will also include both Windows and macOS versions of any included benchmarks, where supported.
A demo version of 3DMark for macOS is now also available through Steam. This includes the Steel Nomad, Steel Nomad Light, Solar Bay and Wild Life Extreme Benchmarks.
