Phoronix: OpenGL Benchmarking On Linux Reaches New Heights

[Vadi]

Read the news article here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_opengl_prime&num=1

I haven't seen the Lightsmark demo apart from the screenshots, but I can confirm the Unigine one looks simply amazing. While you're at it, check out other tests that Phoronix Test Suite offers too (there's like... 60, and they do a lot of different things)

There's no GUI yet (that's being worked on. If you know gtk and php, feel free to join in), but the command to run after installing the .deb (http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/deb/phoronix-test-suite_1.0.5_all.deb) for the Lightsmark test is this:


phoronix-test-suite benchmark lightsmark

And the Unigine demo isn't yet integrated with PTS, so wait a bit :)

Very exciting!

Nice test. It actually seems to really put some stress on the video card. I say this because I get 92+ FPS playing Urban Terror but with this test suite I only get an average of about 27 FPS.

I like it.

Nice to see Linux finally getting a decent test suite for Graphics. Hope their partnerships bear fruits and we can more different opengl tests in the future. So that there isn't just glxgears ;)

I am running nvidia 9600 even though it says unknown. I was pretty pleased. Very nice looking benchmark. :)

Yeah, wow...

since installing envy drivers well results speak for themselves this was the same rig I got 40FPS 4 days ago.

[Lexicon101]

I may just have a very coincidental top framerate, but whenever I run this, the highest I get is 60 fps, even on really easy parts...
Am I missing a cap framerates option I should turn off?
(btw, just got an idea, it might fix it..)

Ok. Sync to v-blank. Turn it off when benchmarking.
Anyway, here, I had a couple windows open, but I doubt it'd make too much of a difference..

You need to say "yes" to saving the results and uploading to phoronix global.
