UL is sending a number of GPU tests to benchmark heaven. The company has revealed that it will no longer offer updates or support for 3DMark 11, PCMark 7, Powermark, 3DMark Cloud Gate, and 3DMark Ice Storm. These benchmarks were released between 2011 and 2013, so most enthusiasts have moved on to better tests (e.g., 3DMark Time Spy. PCMark 10) anyway.

Legacy benchmarks going back to 3DMark99 are available to download for free from the UL Benchmarks website. These unsupported benchmarks are provided for entertainment only with no guarantee of compatibility with current operating systems. 3DMark 11 and PCMark 7 will be available for free from January 14, 2020.
