Selenium
This test profile uses the Selenium WebDriver for running various browser benchmarks in different available web browsers. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Tesseract
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.
Xonotic
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.
Java 2D Microbenchmark
This test runs a series of microbenchmarks to check the performance of the OpenGL-based Java 2D pipeline and the underlying OpenGL drivers. 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.
DiRT Rally 2.0
This is a benchmark of DiRT Rally 2.0 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 scene. 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.
Portal
This is a benchmark of Valve's Portal game. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account and have Steam installed for the system. 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.
Total War: WARHAMMER II
Total War: WARHAMMER II 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 Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
X-Plane
This is a test of X-Plane, a realistic multi-platform flight simulator designed for personal computers. This is commercial closed-source software and relies upon the Steam version. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
ParaView
