TrueOS vs. DragonFlyBSD vs. GhostBSD vs. FreeBSD vs. PacBSD Benchmarks

Why does TrueOS have the same blue color as the 2 Linux ones?
And why using a Nvidia card for benchmarking open source operating systems?

The answer to the blue color: TrueOS does not have the letters BSD.

Most likely because GPU has nothing to do with this tests at all.

OpenBSD (losing the display), NetBSD and MidnightBSD are missing. Maybe because of Nvidia GPU?

Awesome article. Thank you for creating this. I wish, however, it and other articles like this had a better conclusion/summary based on the results. Maybe you could do this for Premium users? I often don't bother logging in as a Premium user because the benefits are not worth the bother of logging in.

Only for FreeBSD!

NetBSD?
OpenBSD?
DragonflyBSD?
MidnightBSD?


Where is your proof?

Well, that was dumb on my part. Thanks for the correction.
In that case, I have no idea why Micheal picked a Nvidia card for these tests.

... Nvidia is currently the only GPU manufacturer providing native BSD graphics drivers.

... Many graphics-related benchmarks may not run at all on OpenBSD unless you have a Nvidia graphics card.

Where is your proof?

So Clang is faster than GCC, but GCC gives better optimized binaries. Pretty much what I expected.
I'm happy to see the BSDs do so well in Fhourstones and a few others. The BSD teams still have work to do, though.

Don't know about your first question, but as to your second, Nvidia is currently the only GPU manufacturer providing native BSD graphics drivers. FreeBSD (and its decedents) has a compatibility layer to use Intel Linux graphics drivers and some other Linux binaries, but other BSDs don't. Many graphics-related benchmarks may not run at all on OpenBSD unless you have a Nvidia graphics card.

bsd distros have very good results

In scimark which was repeated for few times.

I'm curious about Game benchmarks (BSD vs Linux) actually =)
