17-Way NVIDIA Binary vs. AMD Open-Source Linux 4.6 / Mesa Git Driver Tests
Here is the continuation of yesterday's article that was a 10-way NVIDIA GPU Linux comparison with now having more NVIDIA results in plus also testing various AMD GCN GPUs using Linux 4.6.0 and Mesa Git.
As I'm still waiting for any Pascal cards to arrive, today was another day spent testing more comparison cards for my upcoming Pascal GTX 1070/1080 Linux reviews and also the AMD Polaris testing shouldn't be too far out either.
The 17 cards with OpenGL/OpenCL results to share today include the:
On the NVIDIA side was the 367.18 binary driver. On the AMD side was Linux 4.6.0 and Mesa Git as of this morning via the Padoka PPA on Ubuntu 16.04. Linux 4.6 was used over Linux 4.7 since the Ubuntu mainline kernel PPA Linux 4.7 packages still are failing on all of my systems.
Sadly, the OpenCL stack on RadeonSI via Clover still leaves a lot to be desired, so the GPGPU tests were done just on the green GPUs.
Again, these results will be part of a large, featured article once I have my GTX 1070/1080 testing, plus I have extra unpublished results still of all these cards with their power consumption data, performance-per-Watt, GPU temperature, etc. These results yesterday and today are just some fresh numbers for currently available hardware for those curious.
Continue looking at the many other Linux GPU benchmark results by visiting the result file on OpenBenchmarking.org. To see how your own hardware compares, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1605315-HA-TESTGRAPH82. Without sounding like a broken record, if you find all of the Linux hardware benchmarks and information published on Phoronix useful, think about our 12-year offer :)
