The Benchmark Thread! (Contributions Welcomed)
after seeing a new FFXIV benchmark posted, i thought “why isn’t there a decent list anywhere of benchmarks?” ...so i decided to try compiling this...
skip to the pretty, recent stuff!
obv it’s a work in progress at the moment.
abbreviation notes:
pouet: demoscene site
guru3d: site with a fair amount of 3d benchmarks and other apps. spammy, however
mega: megaupload 2.0. least spammy file locker, but i’m not sure what all info their browser app collects.
file handling (for safety reasons): chromium on ubuntu -> linux-dedicated drive -> mega
