The Steel Nomad benchmark comes to 3DMark to replace Time Spy – Computer

In recent years, the main standards have been FireStrike (DirectX 11), Time Spy (DirectX 12) and more recently Port Royal which also covers the field of Ray Tracing. However, as 3DMark enters its 25th anniversary, the developer has announced the celebration About to launch The Steel Nomad and in fact just in time for the new “SUPER” graphics cards of the GeForce RTX 40 series (at the beginning of the new year according to the latest information).

3DMark Steel Nomad is an innovative benchmark that will work across multiple platforms, APIs, and operating systems. On Windows, it uses the latest and updated DirectX 12 API, on macOS it uses Metal, and on Android and Linux it uses Vulkan. With different APIs and operating systems, it is expected that the results will not be comparable to each other, but this has not been confirmed yet.

The first screenshots for Steel Nomad depict futuristic Steampunk environments with Western elements, and if we take into account the details present, they will undoubtedly push the hardware to its limits. The company has yet to announce a launch date for Steel Nomad, but we can reasonably expect it to be part of a 3DMark update as a whole. It is logical that we expect this within the next few weeks.
