27-Way NVIDIA & AMD Graphics Card Benchmarks On Linux

Getting the 27-way Linux graphics card testing started with Furmark, the NVIDIA Kepler graphics cards are doing much better than the older hardware, to no real surprise. Furmark is also one of the few OpenGL test cases under Linux where the Radeon R9 290 can compete with the GeForce 700 series hardware using the current binary drivers.

When running Unigine Valley at 1080p, the AMD Radeon R9 290 performance was coming in line with the GeForce GTX 680. As expected given the hardware, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti and GTX TITAN are by far running the best under Linux.
