I did search for this before posting, but all the results are about specific benchmark instead of a greater list of benchmarks that new users can run without major effort.

What gaming Benchmarks that are known to run well on Linux?

(Will edit as people list programs)

Benchmark programs:

  • Some 3Dmark tests will run, but not well, follow the instructions on ProtonDB to get it working (they say they are working on a native Linux release #shrug)
  • Unengine Haven (download, right-click the file, “properties” then “permissions” then click the checkbox for “execute as program” … Because welcome to Linux)
  • Basemark GPU (get it from flatpack)
  • OCCT (same as Unengine)

Games:

  • Black Myth Wukong
  • Shadow of The Tomb Raider
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Civ 6
  • Forza Horizon 5
  • Factorio
