Phoronix: NVIDIA vs. AMD Linux Gaming Performance For End Of May 2021 Drivers

With May quickly drawing to a close, here are some fresh Linux gaming benchmark figures for the latest AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards on their respective latest Linux graphics drivers while looking at the performance across a variety of OpenGL and Vulkan games/workloads...

Well done Michael! It is always good to have someone giving us this input. It shows Progress and also Regressions.

Btw. adding march=native / -O3 / and lto will give you additional few 5-10% on the OpenSource side...(if it does not breaksomewhere)

could you be a little more specific?
what hardware? what mesa version? what benchmark?
any references?

thanks!

Something is odd. How come RX 6700 is identical in geometric mean with RX 6800 .. and RX 6800XT is so far ahead ? Regression for RX 6800 ?

If there was one, it has been fixed already: I'm getting 123fps in Strange Brigade, not 100. So yeah, the 6800 results aren't usable.
Edit: Though I've been using latest mesa git-master for the past couple of weeks/months and nothing weird showed up in Strange Brigade.

Looking really good for open source and Radeon when you flip the graphs to FPS per watt

They are probably, once again, misleading due to comparing just driver sensor values (ASIC power for Radeons vs. total board power of GeForces).

Michael, the most interesting part for me FPS/$ needs to be pre-filled by hand with local prices? Because I see all zeros and empty charts.

Michael can i ask why the dpi of the graphs are incredibly large. I have a 4K display and it the graphs take up a ridiculous amount of space

Yes fill in with your own local/available prices.
