The 3DMark application version number applies to the software as a whole. It changes often as we add new features and update to ensure compatibility with the latest hardware. We would recommend using the latest version of 3DMark.

A benchmark version number — for example, Steel Nomad v1.0 — is specific to a test. Benchmark version numbers change rarely and only when absolutely necessary. 

You can check the current application and benchmark version numbers from the Settings screen
