AMD Radeon GPUs With Linux 4.0 + Mesa 10.6-devel
On Friday I posted the results showing Ubuntu 15.04 Offers Faster OpenGL For AMD Radeon GPUs On Open-Source. For those wishing to run with a slightly newer kernel and Mesa driver stack, here are fresh open-source AMD Radeon benchmark results with Linux 4.0 and Mesa 10.6-devel.
For at least the few graphics cards tested, the results of Linux 4.0 + Mesa 10.6-devel didn't end up being much more interesting than the stock Ubuntu 15.04 numbers with Linux 3.19 and Mesa 10.5. However, for those interested, I've enclosed the results in this article. Though the Radeon HD 6870 numbers are missing as with Linux 4.0 stable the graphics card could no longer properly mode-set on this system: the HD 6450, HD 6570, HD 7850, and R9 270X all were fine in this situation.
The same setup was used as was the Ubuntu 15.04 x86_64 installation sans fetching the latest stable kernel and updated X.Org/Mesa packages via the convenient and reproducible Oibaf PPA.
You can help yourself to all of these OpenGL performance results via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file.
