The Best, Most Efficient Graphics Cards For 1080p Linux Gamers
The Unigine Valley tech demo remains one of the few OpenGL Linux workloads where Catalyst doesn't fall onto its face. Here, the R9 Fury was performing just ahead of the GTX 980 but behind the GTX 980 Ti.
However, on a performance-per-cost basis, the R9 Fury doesn't do as well. But if you happen to be running Unigine Valley all day, every day, the Radeon R9 290 delivers good value compared to the GeForce GTX 900 series.
On a performance-per-Watt basis, the Maxwell graphics cards all show much greater efficiency than the AMD GPUs on Linux.
