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.

    Honestly your best bet is probably to use a game with a built-in benchmark over Steam. That way you get numbers that are somewhat comparable to the ones from public sources (game review sites/videos).
    I don’t know why there isn’t a proper tool like 3DMark for Linux systems.

      When you say “built-in benchmark over Steam” what does that mean? If that is a common thing, I have a steam account but I’ve never really used it before as I get pretty much all of my games from itch.

        Sorry, what I really meant was over Proton. So, installing a game like Shadow of the Tomb Raider that have a built-in benchmark and run it via Proton.

          Oh ok, but on top of the fact that I can’t run that game, I don’t really need help anymore. I’ve already determined that I’m pretty sure that my GPU is having hardware problems.
