Unigine's dazzling-looking Superposition benchmark (which was due for a late 2016 launch but still hasn't made the rounds, having an expected release date on Q1 of the current year) won't be coming to your average PC gaming platform of choice: Steam.
Apparently, the absence of the benchmark on Steam isn't a choice made by Unigine itself; instead, the "Superposition" benchmark has effectively been locked from entering Steam's catalog on account of it not being "suitable" for their Greenlight initiative. And this comes on the toes of the benchmark having recently achieved the status of number one application on Greenlight - not an easy thing to do, considering the amount of applications that vie for that spot.
Unigine is one of the most considered faces of PC benchmarking, with their products always occupying a special spot on any benchmark suite, due to both their ability to bring even the most powerful hardware to its knees, and looking beautiful while doing so. Particularly, their Heaven benchmark was a kind of poster child for tessellation, with its iconic dragon statue receiving marked improvements in rendering results that scaled with the setting.
Superposition, however, will be based on a revamped engine, the Unigine 2 Engine, bringing with it support for DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.5 and later, as well a dedicated VR mode compatible with both trend-setters of the VR world, the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The Superposition benchmark will also include a GPU cooling stress test, designed to test your graphic card's stability at high operating temperatures, as well as your cooling solutions' ability to tame the operating temperatures on your GPU of choice. The benchmark will also support both Windows and Linux, and like its predecessors, feature scalable settings for your benchmarking enjoyment.
