3DMark Steel Nomad is now available to give your GPU an inferiority complex

I'd wager that nearly every enthusiast gamer has run 3DMark at some point. For years it's been the go-to benchmark for comparing GPUs whether on PCs, laptops, tablets or smartphones. It can be run on Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Steel Nomad has two versions. Aside from the standard version that's best suited for discrete graphics cards and gaming laptops, there's a light version, which is designed for devices with integrated graphics, as well as tablets and smartphones. It runs at 1440p and isn't as punishing as the standard version. Interestingly, there's no CPU test, and the single test is quite short at just under one minute.

The Explorer mode lets you move about the scene freely. It allows you to experiment with various rendering and post-processing settings. I spotted a couple of easter eggs including a flying robot from the Port Royal test and butterflies from the 3DMark 01 test— from nearly a quarter of a century ago! I got old, suddenly.I decided to run Steel Nomad on something more high-end.
