GravityMark
Cyberpunk 2077
This is a benchmark of Cyberpunk 2077 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.
F1 22
This is a benchmark of F1 22 (2022) 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.
HITMAN 3
This is a benchmark of HITMAN 3 on Steam running on Linux under Steam Play. 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.
Left 4 Dead 2
This is a benchmark of Valve's Left 4 Dead 2 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.
Portal 2
This is a benchmark of Valve's Portal 2 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.
Quake II RTX
NVIDIA's Quake II RTX ray-traced (RTX path-traced global illumination) version of the original Quake II game. Quake II RTX makes use of Vulkan ray-tracing extensions on Windows and Linux. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Strange Brigade
This is a benchmark of Strange Brigade 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.
Unigine Heaven
This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Heaven demo for the Unigine engine. This engine is extremely demanding on the system's graphics card. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Unigine Superposition
This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Superposition demo for the Unigine engine, released in 2017. This engine is extremely demanding on the system's graphics card. 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.
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 owning the Steam version. This test profile simply automates the execution for your own copy of X-Plane 12. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
