Benchmarking The Latest AMD Radeon & NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards On Ubuntu Linux
Finally, here's some OpenCL test results.
The OpenCL compute results continue to show that the Radeon hardware under Linux with has potentially, especially for those just interested in GPGPU/compute workloads. The AMD Radeon GPUs aren't fundamentally crippled under Linux, they just seem to have a lot of issues with many OpenGL workloads while at least the compute performance shines.
The AMD Catalyst Linux performance with modern GCN graphics cards is quite good with recent driver releases. Recently, NVIDIA also finally added OpenCL 1.2 support to their proprietary Linux driver.
