I tested this new option we have since 8.0.
1. Amazing graphics. the generated images look simply beautiful. Some of them, I enjoyed beyond words.
Surprisingly, given the low specs of my machine versus a gaming one and obviously, the age of the system (2017)!
2. Some improvements (or... How to...).
2.1. GPUDB. I like very much the idea behind Lite HWDB. The code behind this report utility, allows posting the results on the Lite HWDB in a single step.
Now given the huge amount of graphic options and the various possible configurations, I wonder if it is possible to add the results of the test to a similar database. This would help lots of people to find out the range of applications that are capable of running on a given configuration.
On Lite HWDB, we can see if a certain version can run acceptably on a certain machine.
Still, this gives a low amount of info regarding the video limits. Specifically, what software is capable of running, given a certain video combination GPU/CPU and drivers.
My question is: Can the result of the test be uploaded on a similar DB? and if so, how?
2.2. Text color on Lite Kernel Manager.
The text color of the buttons, is a pale gray shade. Barely visible. At my age, I need glasses and even so, this is some 95% guesswork.
Can you change the text color (black) and maybe add a
Bold to the font attributes so it can be "striking" visible?
I doubt I belong to a minority of "overaged" users.

3.2 The video test.
Lite Kernel Manager GPU test:

7.0.0-linuxlite
GPU Score: 928 glmark2 points = Fair
Scheduler Latency 999 microseconds (max) = Fair
GPU Performance: 928 / 40000
Scheduler Responsiveness: 80%
Relevance.
I sill need to run the test on a different machine (Laptop, ASUS M415U + Radeon) to get at least a second set of values in order to figure out what this score means from the practical perspective.
I'll get back with the data when the test is done.
Best regards!
