Linux Gaming For Older/Lower-End Graphics Cards In 2018

For those curious about the GpuTest benchmark with triangle at 1080p for vRAM performance....

SuperTuxKart is an open-source game easily playable on the graphics cards tested.

Here's a look at the CPU usage across all of the games/benchmarks tested. The Radeon driver stack led to higher CPU utilization on average than NVIDIA.

The most exciting takeaway for me from the results was the very strong Vulkan performance for both RADV and NVIDIA compared to the OpenGL performance with this low-end configuration.

If you wish to see how your own Linux gaming system(s) compare to these results, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1801199-FO-UBUNTULIN40.
