Tesseract is a fork of Cube 2 Sauerbraten with numerous graphics and game-play improvements. Tesseract has been in development since 2012 while its first release happened in May of 2014. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Valley demo for the Unigine engine, released in February 2013. This engine is extremely demanding on the system's graphics card. Unigine Valley relies upon an OpenGL GL3 Core Profile context. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a benchmark of Xonotic, which is a fork of the DarkPlaces-based Nexuiz game. Development began in March of 2010 on the Xonotic game. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
GpuTest is a cross-platform OpenGL benchmark developed at Geeks3D.com that offers tech demos such as FurMark, TessMark, and other workloads to stress various areas of GPUs and drivers. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
