3DMark

Tried to run the newest benchmark, Steel Nomad Light. Every attempt crashes as soon as the download completes. Tried killing the app and re-launching it, but no difference. All other tests run without issues, so it’s definitely an issue with that test. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, which the 3DMark app reports has 8GB RAM, so that test should absolutely be able to run. Have to take off a star given the newest test doesn’t work on a system where it should.

I get that this is a render test, but it's a big disappointment that it just shows you a tiny array of little frames instead of actually playing it out at whatever frame rate full screen.

I use 3DMark extensively for my PC since I overclock my rigs and I love their benchmarks and stress tests. When I saw their new mobile device test I decided to give it a try to see just how bad my aging iPhone 7Plus was performing. Unfortunately, the benchmark won’t get past the loading screen of the character holding the scanner or whatever that device is. The loading bar at the bottom won’t show any progress at all and the app will just sit in the loading screen indefinitely until I force the app to close. It does this for both the regular and Unlimited offerings. I’ve tried restarting the app, restarting the phone, and reinstalling the app. Nothing works. It’s possible there is something wrong with my phone but it runs everything else I install on it without any problems. This is the only app I have on it that is not working correctly.
