I'm about to upgrade my gpu. Before I take action I am curious if there are any tests I can run on the cli that will track the performance of my current gpu so I can compare to the new gpu?
For example, with increased performance of hard drives I use hdparm curious to see if there is something like this for graphics cards and my new gpu is going to be a massive upgrade I'd like to document the performance difference if possible.
You can benchmark some pc component, including GPU by:
Unigine 3D engine
Got to the vendor website, download, install and run it.
Unigine Superposition ( benchmark.unigine.com/superposition ) is the best real native benchmark on Linux, perhaps the only one apart from the old Valley and Heaven. It's a well-known one in Windows and the Phoronix Test Suite do use it. The best would be to launch a very GPU-intensive game though, but reproductibily is subpar if not correctly done.
You can use the benchmarking tool GL Mark 2 for this:
sudo apt-get install glmark2
Run it by typing the follow on terminal:
glmark2
