Benchmarking Wine on FreeBSD 7

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.

IEs 4 FreeBSD Internet Explorer 5.0 5.5 6.0 on FreeBSD

Well it's actually "IEs 4 Linux" that has been run on FreeBSD 7 :D

Everything is the same on FreeBSD as on Linux as well here..
All you have to do is install cabextract, wget & unzip from ports and then run ies4linux and it will do everything for you. You will want to look at the Linux guide and see some of the suggestions that I make about how to fix a couple annoyances that's present in the default install.

The Linux guide to IEs 4 Linux is here.
