The Fastest NVIDIA GPUs For Open-Source Nouveau With Steam Linux Gaming

As you can see from the table, I also left a few of the Radeon GPUs in the mix too for reference purposes... Mainly for seeing the GPUs that are severely limited by the lack of re-clocking and how it all goes into perspective. The Radeon GPUs left in this result file included:

- Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 1024MB
- Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1024MB
- ASUS Radeon HD 7850 1024MB
- XFX Radeon HD 7950 3072MB
- Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2048MB
- Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2048MB
- XFX Radeon R9 290 4096MB

If you wish to see how the open-source Radeon driver for both R600g and RadeonSI are performing overall, see the aforelinked articles from earlier this week. On the following pages are the Counter-Strike: Source, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 benchmarks for the selected NVIDIA GPUs on the Nouveau driver along with the repeated Radeon results from this Linux 3.17 + Mesa 10.3/10.4-devel stack on the Intel Core i7 Ubuntu desktop.
