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.

    It might be using the integrated GPU…

    Try and install lshw and run sudo lshw -numeric -C display and give us the output.

    Edit…

    Or glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"

      I just tried glxinfo but it didn’t do anything and unless it’s called something else, apt can’t locate the package.

        I think it is in the mesa-utils package but that doesn’t matter…your other answer provided some more info

      It is using the integrated GPU, it’s a laptop that only has an integrated GPU. Also, lshw is having the same problem it had with my old computer, where it doesn’t seem to list the right clock speed and just says it’s running at 33Mhz. I know this is wrong because on my old computer, other software would state the clock speed was much higher. But another thing I’m noticing that’s wrong is the GPU is listed as an R3 when the GPU is actually an R2, so unless they share drivers, It’s possible that Mint (I’m using Linux Mint) installed the wrong drivers.

        I was kinda hoping I’d see something obvious but I am not a great troubleshooter, more of try things to see what works…

        You can still use the Phoronix thing for testing the GPU:

        But perhaps something else is interfering.

        What does sudo apt list --installed | grep -i radeon show?

          Unigine-heaven was available by itself and it worked but I’ve never benchmark tested anything before. The settings I used was low graphics, full screened to the custom resolution of 1360x768 (the resolution of the monitor I use) and everything else was disabled. The frame rate ranged from 12 to 26 (or at least somewhere around that), does that seem good for an AMD Radeon R2 Graphics?

          Also that command returns this: `WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

            🤷‍♂️ all I can say is the drivers are installed.

            Perhaps there is a Xorg option that needs to be modified or set a kernel parameter. Sorry I can’t help anymore.

            Even though it is Mint, the advice on the ArchWiki might help you out.

            https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Loading says that it should use the amdgpu driver so that is something to look into.

            Good luck!
