I installed some benchmarks into Wine on FreeBSD and gave them a run this morning. You will need to take into account this is FreeBSD 7.0 Beta 2 and Nvidia driver Version: 100.14.19 that was edited so it would install on FreeBSD 7.

So what it comes down to is i'm benchmarking on a Beta OS release with a driver that was built for a prior release, oh well..... at any rate it's working.

When FreeBSD 7.0 final ships and Nvidia releases updated drivers I'll re-run the benchmarks again and hopefully we will see some performance gains.

I only ran four benchmarks 3DMark 2000v1.1, 3DMark2001SE, GL Excess and PC Mark04. In the future ill see if I can get 3DMark 2003 and 3DMark 2005 to run and produce results.

The Linux scores and system specs are here and here for reference.
