The Power Efficiency From A Radeon HD 4890 Through The RX 480 & R9 Fury

Unigine Heaven is a very demanding Linux OpenGL workload but still will run on old RV770 era hardware. However, the results for those old results aren't pretty. In raw performance, the RX 480 is more than 15x faster than the HD 4890 and for the R9 Fury is at 19x faster!

For the performance-per-Watt during Unigine Heaven, going from the HD 4890 to RX 480 is a 5x improvement while the HD 5830 was actually the least power efficient this time and there it was a 8.75x spread.

The Tesseract results are very exciting and fun to see how far AMD GPUs have evolved in the past few years.
