1080p Linux Gaming Performance - NVIDIA 415.22 vs. Mesa 19.0-devel RADV/RadeonSI
Thrones of Britanna with extreme quality settings at 1080p couldn't run fluidly on any of the tested graphics hardware.
The new Linux game port of Total War: Warhammer II saw the RX 590 performing just in front of the GTX 1060.
The RADV/RadeonSI performance at 1080p tended to be less compelling than the results at 4K or 1440p. At the more demanding resolutions, the RX 590 tended to deliver usually up to a 14% speed-up while that was seen in some 1080p tests, with some games it was just a few percent gain. The RX 580/590 were only running around the GTX 1060 performance with these Linux games at 1080p while at the higher resolutions the AMD Polaris cards performed closer to the GTX 1070 in many instances.
