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.

I was kinda hoping I'd see something obvious but I am not a great troubleshooter, more of try things to see what works...

You can still use the Phoronix thing for testing the GPU:

Grab the .deb from https://phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/repo/pts.debian/files/phoronix-test-suite_10.8.4_all.deb and install
Install the Ungine test: phoronix-test-suite install unigine-heaven
Run the test: phoronix-test-suite run unigine-heaven

But perhaps something else is interfering.

What does sudo apt list --installed | grep -i radeon show?

Unigine-heaven was available by itself and it worked but I've never benchmark tested anything before. 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?

Also that command returns this: `WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

libdrm-radeon1/jammy-updates,now 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1 amd64 [installed] xserver-xorg-video-radeon/jammy-updates,now 1:19.1.0-2ubuntu1 amd64 [installed] `

🤷‍♂️ all I can say is the drivers are installed.

Perhaps there is a Xorg option that needs to be modified or set a kernel parameter. Sorry I can't help anymore.

Even though it is Mint, the advice on the ArchWiki might help you out.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Loading says that it should use the amdgpu driver so that is something to look into.

Good luck!
