![]() ![]() However, not all of the graphics cards I tried to run were in a workable state on the current Radeon Linux driver due to various bugs as I'll go over shortly.įor this large comparison going from the HD 2000/3000 series through the R9 Fury, I used the very latest open-source AMD Linux graphics driver. I didn't test any hardware prior to the HD 2000 (R600) series for being too slow and it was with the R600 GPUs that support OpenGL 3.3 at least. ![]() Using all of the graphics cards I had available and weren't busy in the dozens of other benchmarking systems at Phoronix, I set to carry out an OpenGL comparison - looking at the raw frame-rates as well as the performance-per-Watt - of every graphics card from the latest R9 200/300 series and R9 Fury all the way back to the R600 series from ~2006. ![]() Here's an interesting look at how the OpenGL graphics performance has evolved on the AMD side over the past decade while also looking at the performance-per-Watt. What's the best way to beat the winter blues? Benchmarking, of course! For starting off our 2016 of graphics card benchmarking under Linux, I've been working on a large round-up of re-testing AMD Radeon graphics cards from the HD 2900XT (R600) graphics card through the latest R9 Fury (Fiji) graphics card while running Ubuntu and using the very latest open-source graphics driver stack. ![]()
