I have used gtkperf when I was benchmarking different settings on a box: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
$ eix -l gtkperf |
| 26 |
* app-benchmarks/gtkperf |
| 27 |
Available versions: |
| 28 |
(~) 0.40 "~amd64 ~ppc ~x86" [nls] |
| 29 |
Homepage: http://gtkperf.sourceforge.net/ |

Description: Application designed to test GTK+ performance |

Alternatively, most people who are interested in gaming use demos from the |
| 33 |
games they play. |
