## What is 3DMark?

Test and compare the performance of the latest iPhones and iPads with this free and easy-to-use benchmarking app.

3DMark Solar Bay Extreme is a ray-traced gaming benchmark, designed to test the graphics performance of high-end iPhones and iPads.

3DMark Steel Nomad Light is our heaviest non-raytracing benchmark for iOS. Steel Nomad Light lets you compare the performance of the latest iPhones and iPads in heavy gaming workloads.

Run 3DMark Solar Bay to compare the latest iOS devices that support gaming with real-time ray tracing. Ray tracing is a new technology in games that is used to produce far more realistic lighting. It has three sections with increasingly higher ray tracing workloads, helping you understand how enabling ray tracing will affect your device’s gaming performance.  

3DMark Wild Life is a cross-platform benchmarking app for comparing the performance of the latest smartphones and tablets. 

Use 3DMark Wild Life Extreme to test and compare the latest iPhones and iPads as well as Apple Mac computers with the M1 chip. Or run the original Wild Life benchmark to test older iPhone and iPad models. 

3DMark Steel Nomad Light, Solar Bay, Wild Life, and Wild Life Extreme offer two ways to test your device: a quick benchmark that tests instant performance and a longer stress test that shows how your device performs under longer periods of heavy load.

3DMark benchmarks measure GPU performance by rendering a demanding game-like scene in real-time. The faster the scene runs, the higher your benchmark score.

With its charts, lists and rankings, 3DMark gives you unique insights into the performance of your device.

- Measure the GPU performance of your iPhone and iPad.
- Compare your score with others from the same model. 
- See how your device compares with the latest models. 
- See how performance changes with each iOS update. 
- Search, filter and sort the in-app rankings to compare popular devices.

3DMark is a free app. There are no ads or in-app purchases. Download it today and join millions of people who choose 3DMark for accurate and impartial benchmark results.
