Total War: WARHAMMER Linux NVIDIA vs. Radeon Benchmarks

With ultra image quality settings at 1920 x 1080, not even the Radeon R9 Fury could run above 50 FPS while it looks like it may be partially driver related with the same performance out of the RX 480 too. It will be interesting to try today's Mesa Git shortly.

And some 4K numbers for most of the AMD cards. The Radeon R9 Fury here was delivering a 46 FPS average.

And lastly some medium image quality tests at 4K.

The RadeonSI experience was quite playable with the lower image quality settings and lower resolutions, but with the more demanding configurations it was less than ideal. Again, this was with the Git code of Linux 4.9 as of 21 November and Mesa 13.1-dev from the same date built against LLVM 4.0 SVN. I'll be running some Git tests with all of the 22nd changes shortly and will pass it along if there is indeed a noticeable performance improvement. To see more tests, join Phoronix Premium today.
