On Linux, a set of scripts is provided to launch the tests. On Windows and OSX, GpuTest comes with a graphical user interface (GUI) to launch the different tests. GpuTest – All tests under OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro (15-inch Retina display) More information here: Overview of OpenGL Support on OS X. But GiMark is an OpenGL 3.3 test, so why can we launch it on OSX? Actually OSX 10.8 supports a subset of OpenGL 3.3 features and geometry instancing is among these features. The test based on TessMark requires an OpenGL 4.0 and OSX 10.8 supports only OpenGL 3.2. On OS X, only two tests are available: FurMark and GiMark. I didn’t tested it with other distributions. Regarding Linux, I developed and tested GpuTest under Linux Mint 13 64-bit.

By default, GiMark renders 100’000 instances of a mesh sphere made up of 128 triangles.Īll tests can be launched on Windows and Linux.

GiMark: a geometry instancing test (OpenGL 3.3).

The graphic load is equivalent to the extreme tessellation level (X32) of TessMark.

a tessellation test based on TessMark (OpenGL 4.0).

a stress test based on FurMark (OpenGL 2.1 or 3.2):.

This first version of GpuTest comes with 3 tests (other tests will be added in next versions): The current version is available in 64-bit only and I don’t know if a 32-bit version will see the light of day…

GpuTest is based on OpenGL and is available for Windows (XP, Vista, 7 and 8), Linux and OS X. GpuTest 0.2.0 is the first public version of a new cross-platform GPU stress test and benchmarking utility.
