Oh it's free! Awesome! Shall definitely try that out on my laptop for a ridiculously low score so we can get a baseline.

Remember, this thing is coming up for 10 years old now!

I think it's under 0. It's Null.

I bet it won’t run on Apple Silicon either 🥺😭😤

…although some of the cross-platform benchmarks from 3DMark (Wildlife & Slingshot) use Vulkan on Win/Droid, and Metal on iOS…and if it runs on iOS, it should run on MacOS.

This is running the bench off my big PC upstairs streaming down to my laptop downstairs.

So it's using the computer hardware upstairs, but recognising the display as a generic basic 1080p

So I'm not sure how that would influence the results. I'll try it properly on the PC upstairs another time (everyone's in bed)

I scored 18 047 in Solar Bay
