Ubuntu - GPU - Benchmark the GPU
Technically speaking, all of the available GPU benchmarking tools in Linux only test under the OpenGL renderer of course.
While your GPU may be compatible with some versions of Direct3D, it is not possible to test this renderer under Linux.
GLX-Gears
GLX gears is a popular OpenGL test that is part of the mesa-utils package.
Install GLX-Gears
sudo apt install mesa-utils
Run GLX-Gears
glxgears
NOTE: This tool is very old, very basic and only tests a small portion of the current OpenGL capabilities.
- This will open up a window with an OpenGL rendering of a simple arrangement of three rotating gears.
- The frame rate is measured and printed out on the terminal every five seconds.
GL Mark 2
Install glmark2
sudo apt install glmark2
Run glmark2
glmark2
NOTE: GL mark is a much richer benchmarking tool developed by the kind people behind the Linaro distribution.
- glmark offers a rich set of tests that concern different aspects of your graphics unit performance (buffering, building, lighting, texturing etc), allowing for a much more comprehensive and meaningful test.
- Each test is conducted for 10 seconds and the frame rate is counted individually.
- In the end, users get a performance score based on all previous tests.
Unigine Benchmarks
Hashcat
hashcat -I
returns:

hashcat -b | uniq
returns:
hashcat (v6.2.5) starting in benchmark mode Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default. You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option. Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length. To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.

NOTE: Near the top it shows that hashcat makes use of the GPU.
