Unreal Engine 4 Linux Tests With AMD & NVIDIA Graphics Drivers

While it doesn't mean too much given these thirteen graphics cards were a mix of pre-production GPUs and retail samples of GPUs from different AIB partners, there is a look at the reported GPU core temperatures while running these four Unreal Engine 4 demos.

Lastly, for what it's worth, the overall AC system power consumption for each of the graphics cards during the course of the four UE4 Linux demos.

There you have it for those curious about Unreal Engine 4 benchmarks for Linux... Given that they can now be automated well and provide useful data when paired with libframetime, they'll certainly be used in Linux graphics to come in the future on Phoronix. Coming up next I'll be trying them with the Mesa/Gallium3D drivers to see how far the open-source drivers can handle Epic Games' latest engine. I'll also run new AMD Radeon graphics benchmarks once the Catalyst driver is in better shape for this game engine. Any other requests or feedback? Let me know via commenting on this article in the forums or via Twitter.

Feel free to see how your own system performs by installing the Phoronix Test Suite software and simply running MONITOR=gpu.temp phoronix-test-suite benchmark ue4 to conduct these same tests in a fully-automated and reproducible manner. Even better, you can run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1501158-DE-AMDNVIDIA21 to compare your system's performance side-by-side against all of the benchmark results shown in this article! It's that easy with our open-source, fully-automated benchmarking software.

Again, if you appreciate all of the Linux testing done at Phoronix by yours truly, consider subscribing to Phoronix Premium, perhaps a PayPal tip, and share this article via Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
