16-Way GPU Comparison With NVIDIA GPUs Going Back To Kepler
Last week I provided a fresh look at the NVIDIA GeForce vs. AMD Radeon Linux gaming performance using the latest drivers at the start of 2018. That testing included the latest NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, but for those curious how these numbers compare for older NVIDIA GPUs, here's a look with the Kepler and Maxwell graphics cards added to the comparison.
The NVIDIA graphics cards were tested with the Linux 4.15 Git kernel and NVIDIA 390.12 beta driver as the very newest driver support currently available. The Radeon hardware was using the Linux 4.15 Git kernel paired with Mesa 17.4-dev from the Padoka PPA built against LLVM 6.0 SVN.

This comparison offers a fresh look at how modern AMD/NVIDIA GPUs compare to older Kepler and Maxwell NVIDIA GPUs if you may be eyeing a possible post-holiday PC upgrade.
All tests were done on Ubuntu 17.10 x86_64 with the Core i7 8700K system. The various OpenGL and Vulkan benchmarks carried out using the Phoronix Test Suite.
