I installed some benchmarks into Wine 1.1.2 on FreeBSD and gave them another run today to see what gains I would see over the last benchmarks that I ran. The last time the benchmarks were run on FreeBSD 7.0 Beta 2 and Nvidia driver Version: 100.14.19 that was edited so it would install and run on FreeBSD 7 bets 2.

This time Ive ran five benchmarks 3DMark 2000v1.1, 3DMark2001SE, 3DMark2003, LightsMark 2008, and 3DMark2006. I have a copy of CX Games 7.0.0 for BSD installed and plan to test it's performance verses vanilla Wine. Also you'll notice ive ran LightsMark 2008 this time around. and the cool thing is there is now a Linux version of this Benchmark. In the future I plan to run it on Linux native and then with Wine to see just where Wine stands.

Wine version: 1.1.2
OS: FreeBSD 7.0
Nvidia Driver 173.14.09
