UL Solutions has shared the first screenshots of its new benchmark software, 3DMark Steel Nomad. It’s the next version after 3D Mark Time Spy, and it’s going to be the toughest benchmark test for computers that don’t use ray-tracing technology.
3DMark Steel Nomad won’t just work on Windows with DirectX 12; it will also run on macOS and iOS using Metal, as well as on Android using Vulkan. And don’t worry if you’re a Linux fan. Linux will be supported too, using the Vulkan API for Enterprise and for reviewers. Plus, 3DMark Steel Nomad will include some references to the company’s earlier benchmarks.
It will be interesting to see how heavy this non-RT benchmark will be. Will it bring high-end GPUs, like the NVIDIA RTX4090, to its knees? Or will this GPU be able to run it with over 60fps at Native 4K?
There is currently no ETA on when 3DMark Steel Nomad will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy the following screenshots and stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
