The gaming benchmark scene got a major level-up with the announcement of a new 3DMark version on 14 November 2011. When it dropped on February 4, 2013, it changed the game by letting you compare scores across Windows, Android, and iOS – a first for cross-platform performance showdowns. 3DMark doesn't just give you one score; it dishes out separate tests for different devices. Ice Storm is for the mobile warriors on smartphones, tablets, and entry-level PCs. Ice Storm Extreme cranks it up for the high-end mobile devices. Sling Shot is the mobile-only test for the latest devices and flagship phones. Cloud Gate is for the home PC and notebook crowd. Sky Diver targets gaming laptops and mid-range PCs that want to push their limits. Night Raid is for the integrated graphics squad, like tablets and laptops without dedicated GPUs. Fire Strike is where the gaming PCs flex their muscles. Fire Strike Extreme and Fire Strike Ultra are for the multi-GPU and 4K gaming rigs, respectively. Time Spy is the DirectX 12 arena added in July 2016, exclusive to Windows 10, for the high-end gaming PCs to strut their stuff.
