From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is a good way to benchmark test a GPU in Linux? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

Honestly your best bet is probably to use a game with a built-in benchmark over Steam. That way you get numbers that are somewhat comparable to the ones from public sources (game review sites/videos).
I don't know why there isn't a proper tool like 3DMark for Linux systems.

When you say "built-in benchmark over Steam" what does that mean? If that is a common thing, I have a steam account but I've never really used it before as I get pretty much all of my games from itch.

Sorry, what I really meant was over Proton. So, installing a game like Shadow of the Tomb Raider that have a built-in benchmark and run it via Proton.

Oh ok, but on top of the fact that I can't run that game, I don't really need help anymore. I've already determined that I'm pretty sure that my GPU is having hardware problems.
