We've released an update for the Windows desktop version of 3DMark that fixes and improves hardware detection and monitoring. Running 3DMark Advanced or Professional Edition with compatible hardware will again generate an interactive graph of CPU and GPU clock speeds and temperatures recorded during the tests.

We've also added the Ice Storm Unlimited test for benchmarking Windows 8 tablets and other mobile devices. You can compare Ice Storm scores from the latest Windows, Android and iOS devices.

The Steam version of 3DMark updates automatically; the standalone will prompt you to install the update when you next run the program.
