UL Benchmarks, known for its domestic roots, has released new blood for the 3DMark test family. The new 3DMark Wild Life is primarily designed to test the graphics chip on mobile devices, but is also available in an Unlimited version for Windows.

3DMark Wild Life is designed to measure the performance of a graphics chip in a demanding game-like environment. The test is said to take advantage of the latest technologies in modern mobile devices to render the test. For mobile devices, two versions of the test are available, Wild Life and Wild Life Stress Test.

Wild Life is a traditional, relatively short test. It is said to simulate mobile games where the stress is focused on short spins. The Wild Life Stress Test, on the other hand, spins longer and constantly simulates heavy games. The Stress Test not only gives a traditional result, but shows in a convenient graph how the performance of the device changes under longer stress, where the test is rotated several times in a row.

In addition to just the result, the new 3DMark provides easy-to-read graphs on mobile devices, where the result just run can be compared to the results run on the same devices, the results of the most popular devices, and all other results. The graphs also provide interesting device-specific data on how consistent results are given by different individuals. The data is collected from results submitted globally, so it covers a wide range of different usage environments that can affect the results. In addition, statistics are available on how the different operating system versions affect the result.

3DMark Wild Life is implemented with a Vulkan interface for Android and Windows and a Metal interface for Apple devices. The test requires at least Android 10 or iOS 13 operating system and is available for download for Android from the Google Play Store and for iOS devices from the Apple App Store. The Windows version, on the other hand, is available as a free upgrade to 3DMark Advanced and Professional Editions on Steam, the UL Benchmarks website, and the Green Man Gaming store

. Note:

UL Benchmarks has reported that due to Qualcomm’s Vulkan drivers, there are graphical errors in the test, such as flashing on Android 10 and Snapdragon
