GeeXLab
GeeXLab is a cross-platform tool for 3D programming and demo creation. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
BioShock Infinite
A Steam-based test of the BioShock Infinite game. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
This is a benchmark of Valve's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is already installed. This automates the process of executing the game and using a standardized time demo. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
DiRT Showdown
This is a benchmark of DiRT Showdown 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
This is a benchmark of Valve's Dota 2 game. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that you have rights to Dota 2. This automates the process of executing the game and using a standardized time demo. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
F1 2018
This is a benchmark of F1 2018 running under Steam Play (Proton) on Linux. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that the game is already purchased/installed. This automates the process of executing the game and using a standardized time demo. 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.
The Talos Principle
This is a benchmark of The Talos Principle. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that The Talos Principle can be installed. This automates the process of executing the game and using a standardized time demo. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Team Fortress 2
This is a benchmark of Valve's free-to-play Team Fortress 2 game. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that Team Fortress 2 is already installed. This automates the process of executing the game and using a standardized time demo. 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.
