This is a benchmark of DiRT Rally 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.
A Steam-based test of the Metro: Last Light Redux game. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
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.
This is a benchmark of the Tomb Raider (2013) game. The test profile assumes you have a Steam account, have Steam installed for the system, and that you own Tomb Raider. This automates the process of executing the game and using the built-in benchmark functionality. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
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.
