3DMark Time Spy benchmark · build 18839837 · published
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! 3DMark for macOS is available from Steam now.

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.

Known issues
Some real-time hardware data, such as SoC temperature and clock rates, are not currently available due to macOS not supporting access to these metrics.
It is currently not possible to get "Steel Explorer" achievement using 3DMark for macOS. This will be corrected in a future update.
