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.

This test profile assumes you have the Valve Steam client already installed for your operating system / distribution and that it's installed to the standard path. Your Steam account must also be active and the game already installed.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark tf2.

Use with caution this test profile is currently marked Unverified.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Team Fortress 2

Resolution: 1920 x 1080

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 580 public results since 20 August 2015 with the latest data as of 25 December 2022.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
