Edit: I was able to run some benchmark tests, so I don’t need help with this anymore, but after running the tests, I’m pretty sure my computer is having hardware issues. I don’t really have any other options, though, so I just have to deal with it.

The computer I was using stopped working and I had to switch to a different computer but despite having a significantly better GPU, games are performing only slightly better. I want to benchmark test the GPU to see if it’s a potential hardware problem or if something else is causing a bottleneck.

    I tried to download unigine but I can’t seem to figure out how to download it. I’m using Linux Mint and the only download option seems to be a .run file which doesn’t seem to be executable in Mint. I also don’t know how to look through the repositories and when I tried to install “unigine-heaven” in apt, it told me it couldn’t find it in the repositories. So unless it’s called something else when you install it through apt, I don’t know how to download it.

    Also, I did look into Phoronix but it only mentions that it benchmarks CPUs and not GPUs.

      Did you gave execution permission to the file?

      chmod +x yourfile.run

        I’ll have to tell you later, I’m trying to re-download it but it seems like my ISP is throttling my internet connection because Firefox is telling me that it’s going to take an hour and a half to download, even though the first time only took a few minutes to download.

        Ok that worked, as it turns out, the problem was that I’ve never used a .run file before and, at least from what I can tell, .run files are similar to .sh files.

        Anyways, I’ve never really done benchmark tests before but I did play around with it a little. The settings I used was low graphics, full screened to the custom resolution of 1360x768 (the resolution of the monitor I use) and everything else was disabled. The frame rate ranged from 12 to 26 (or at least somewhere around that), does that seem good for an AMD Radeon R2 Graphics?

          about this I actually cannot help you, I understand almost nothing about this kind of benchmark, sorry
