RadeonSI Mesa 17.1-dev vs. AMDGPU-PRO 16.60 OpenGL Linux Gaming

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Gaming on 18 February 2017 at 10:00 AM EST. Page 5 of 5. 44 Comments.

The synthetic OpenGL benchmarks of GpuTest were a mix from Mesa 17.1-dev being faster to around the same performance as AMDGPU-PRO and then losing out in just one test.

AMDGPU-PRO was maintaining a narrow lead in Unigine Heaven and Unigine Valley over RadeonSI.

With the exception of BioShock Infinite and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, these RadeonSI performance numbers from Mesa 17.1-devel were extremely competitive with AMDGPU-PRO 16.60 on the Radeon RX 470 graphics card. As has become the case in particularly recent months, AMDGPU+RadeonSI is becoming quite competent for Linux gaming, even works well with this week's release of HITMAN, and overall RadeonSI Gallium3D is working out very good for OpenGL. For the Vulkan numbers, see yesterday's article.
