Linux 5.2 + Mesa 19.2 Performance With Polaris/Vega/Vega20 vs. NVIDIA On Ubuntu 19.04

First I want to thank you Michael for this amazing site, PTS, and all the testing you do, that's really amazing and shouldn't be taken for granted.

Would you mind to explain why most of your gaming tests are nowadays tested on 4K/2K resolution and not on 1080p anymore?
Isn't 1080p still the de-fac-to standard?

Michael - what every happened to the Total War Three Kingdoms benchmarks ?

There ended up being no benchmark mode.

Typo:

As well, where the Radeon RX 5700/5700XT will stand for power efficiency afainst the NVIDIA competition.

Need more benchmark-friendly Wine games...

Probably a good way to do it, is not to rely on games being testing friendly. I.e. imagine you have a tool that simulates a specific input for a game - any game. Run such game with simulated input (each game can have a custom input set to start something and do whatever actions you want to test), record performance using standard logging tools (GALLIUM_HUD, Mesa Vulkan overlay and etc. all allow logging). Crunch the log and you have all you need. It should in theory work for anything. No idea if Nvidia blob has logging though. But Mesa overlay should work for it for Vulkan at least since it's a generic layer.

Thanks for including Counter-strike: Global Offensive in the benchmarks. I, for one, like to see it in there.

Better still, More native games

This seriously needs more Wine+dxvk tests.

Phoronix: Linux 5.2 + Mesa 19.2 Performance With Polaris/Vega/Vega20 vs. NVIDIA On Ubuntu 19.04

With last week having delivered fresh benchmarks of the mid-range NVIDIA/AMD graphics cards using the very latest drivers, particularly the in-development Linux 5.2 and Mesa 19.2 components with the Radeon graphics cards tested, here is a similar comparison when moving up the spectrum and focusing on the higher-end graphics cards. Here's a look at how the RX 590, RX Vega 56, RX Vega 64, and Radeon VII are performing with the newest open-source AMD driver code compared to the NVIDIA Turing line-up backed by their latest binary driver.
