Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
This is a benchmark of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on Steam. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that you own a copy of this game. This automates the process of executing the game and using its built-in benchmark mode. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Dota 2
Mad Max
This is a benchmark of Mad Max on Steam. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that you own a copy of this game. This automates the process of executing the game and using its built-in benchmark mode. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rise of the Tomb Raider on Steam. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that you own a copy of this game. This automates the process of executing the game and using its built-in benchmark mode. Backs up old preferences (in ~/.local/share/feral-interactive/) for the run. NOTES for cross-platform comparisons: Due to the extreme demands of "Very High" 4K Texture Detail on all platforms, which can need ~6GB+ of VRAM, the "Very High" graphics preset on Linux only sets Texture Detail to "High". Nvidia ambient occlusion modes are not featured on the Linux version (HBAO+ and VXAO). See notes in install.sh for a few small tweaks including disabling the CPU governor check when testing for it's effects Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
A Total War Saga: THRONES OF BRITANNIA
A Total War Saga: THRONES OF BRITANNIA on Steam. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that you own a copy of this game. This automates the process of executing the game and using its built-in benchmark mode. Backs up old preferences (in ~/.local/share/feral-interactive/) for the run. NOTES for cross-platform comparisons: TODO See notes in install.sh for a few small tweaks including disabling the CPU governor check when testing for it's effects Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Dawn of War III
Dawn of War III Mad Max on Steam. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that you own a copy of this game. This automates the process of executing the game and using its built-in benchmark mode. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Unigine Superposition
This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Superposition demo for the Unigine engine, released in 2017. This engine is extremely demanding on the system's graphics card. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Unigine Heaven
This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Heaven demo for the Unigine engine. This engine is extremely demanding on the system's graphics card. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
