22-Way Comparison Of NVIDIA & AMD Graphics Cards On SteamOS For Steam Linux Gaming
DiRT Showdown for Linux was released back in August.
While Catalyst 15.9 lets the AMD Radeon GPUs run without any major performance problems, the performance remains low and is bottle-necked with the Radeon HD 7950 running at around the same speed as the R9 290 and R9 Fury. The AMD hardware is just able to compete with the GeForce GTX 950, GTX 680, and other lower-end hardware.
The GeForce GTX 950 led on the performance-per-dollar factor, or for a bit better performance, the GTX 960.
The GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980 were the most efficient for their level of performance.
