What option should I use to test GeekBench 6 on a low RAM system?

Low RAM means 512Mb to 1Gb. The default setting punked out on a 1GB RAM system.

I need those information too.

Maybe simply use GB 4?

Add swap for minimum requirements?

Adding SWAP doesn't help either if the RAM is too low for GB6.

GB5 if memory < 2 gb
GB4 if memory < 1 gb

GB6 otherwise

I run both GB5 and GB6 for YABS

Just don’t run Geekbench at all then. Old versions of it will just give you a meaningless number you will not be able to compare to anything in 2024.
You can always do a raw performance test using sysbench or linuxbench to check if vps performs as it should.
