FreeBSD vs. Linux Binary Gaming Performance
With several OpenGL games/benchmarks that are Linux binaries, comparing the performance under FreeBSD/PC-BSD 8.2 versus a native Linux environment. Testing by Michael Larabel at Phoronix.com for a future article during Oktoberfest.

Urban Terror
World of Padman
OpenArena
This is a test of OpenArena, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game is based upon ioquake3, which in turn uses the GPL version of id Software's Quake 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Nexuiz
This is a benchmark of Nexuiz, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game uses the DarkPlaces engine, which is a largely modified version of the Quake engine with extra features such as High Dynamic Range rendering and OpenGL 2.0 shaders. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
