benchmarking softwareI
I just got a spiffy new AMD64 system with Mandrake 9.2 AMD64 on it and I'm curious to see how fast it actually is. What is a good, simple, graphical benchmarking program i should try. Maybe also something that will test the 3D engine? I quite liked 3DMark 2001 in Windows.
Thanks. |
The only thing I know of that will test 3D is glxgears. This will give you the FPS
or your vid card. The program top gives a lot of information, though you'd have to read man top to learn more about it. You can use either of those just by typing the name in a terminal like so -> $ glxgears $ top |
Hmmm glxgears is kinda what I'm looking for, but its pretty simple. Plus i don't know what to compare it to.
top looks like a process viewer. Isn't there something that the overclockers and such use to see how far they can push their system? Thanks for the help. |
A quick and dirty way of getting the perceived performance of a system is doing a simple cat /proc/cpuinfo which will return a host of info on the CPU(s) in the system. The last entry - bogomips - is what's important to you. The name implies that benchmarking is a whole lot of bull and marketing anyway, sort of like IQ tests. ;)
Code:
hw@baron:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep bogoHåkan |
