As explained in that earlier article, unfortunately there are few AMD Radeon cards tested in relation to NVIDIA graphics cards. NVIDIA and their partners continue sending out Linux review samples on nearly all of their graphics cards while AMD hasn't in a few years and thus the Radeon selection is largely limited to the graphics cards I purchase. Coming next week at least will be some OpenGL/OpenCL Linux benchmarks for the AMD Radeon R9 Fury with that being my latest AMD GPU purchase.

The Radeon GPUs were tested on Catalyst 15.7 while the GeForce GPUs were tested on the NVIDIA 352.21 driver. All benchmarks happened from the same system running Ubuntu 15.04 x86_64 with the Linux 3.19 kernel. All benchmarks were performed using the Phoronix Test Suite.
