29-Way GPU Comparison On Linux From Kepler & Cypress To Today's Pascal & Vega

[humbug]

My R9 290 now rocks in openGL. Totally satisfied.

I hope the RadV devs give it some love though. It's a bit too far behind the RX 580 in RadV (considering the openGL numbers, or windows numbers).

Technically you are right. However since nobody plays Portal at +200 fps the game is practically CPU-bound
But good to see the RadeonSI driver scales nicely even to insane fps.

Without the intention to start an argument, it still isn't even "practically" CPU-bound. That would imply that the CPU is limiting the performance of high end cards because it cannot supply them with enough tasks or the time it takes to render a frame is negligible in comparison with other tasks like game logic, physics etc. However, this is not the case. More powerfull GPUs significantly cut down the frame time.

I do agree that at way beyond 200fps nobody cares about the actual number, though.

I don't get how anyone could consider the Portal benchmarks CPU-bound. I'd say those scale rather nicely in accordance with each GPUs capability. If this was in fact CPU-bound I'd expect low end and high end hardware to perform similarly.

No OpenCL test?

Why is the 1080 Ti usually always a lot faster than the next fastest card?

Typo:

Metro Last Light Redfux requires at least

Not sure why the 750 is missing in a lot of the titles, since I own a 750ti and consider switching soon that was a good reference point for me to compare with but apparently it's missing even though it supports Vulkan and everything...

It was too slow in lots of the tests and hanging in a few.

Buying hd 7850 in december 2012 was such good decision. Vulkan, long support...
