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.
BioShock Infinite
A Steam-based test of the BioShock Infinite game. 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.
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
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.
ET: Legacy
ETLegacy is an open-source engine evolution of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, a World War II era first person shooter that was released for free by Splash Damage using the id Tech 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
F1 2017
F1 2017 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.
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.
GLmark2

Metro: Last Light Redux
A Steam-based test of the Metro: Last Light Redux game. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
ParaView
This test runs ParaView benchmarks: an open-source data analytics and visualization application. 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.
SuperTuxKart
This is a test of SuperTuxKart, an open-source racing game. The engine, Antarctica, is a highly modified version of Irrlicht and uses OpenGL 3.1+. Bullet is used for physics. Sound is provided by OpenAL. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
