AMD Radeon RX 5700 / RX 5700XT Linux Gaming Benchmarks

[schmidtbag]

Pretty damn impressive results for Linux on launch day. Considering how late some of the commits came in, I expected Michael to have a page worth of struggles. But instead, it actually seems to have performance comparable to Windows.
Good job Linux team!

Awesome, this will give value for Linux systems for years to come.

I'm a bit disappointed with the support coming so late, but at least AMD supports open source drivers, even though this time will come later than usual.
Anyway congratulations to AMD for this release!
Michael, when you have time, could you please do also some benchmarks on the new AMD's CPUs and GPUs on mining performance and power efficiency?
For the CPUs, I'm interested into performance of RandomX algorithm, which the next one that Monero will use in the future.

And I see people here talking about a benchmark already available, maybe you can use it without too much work

For the GPUs, I'm not sure, but maybe these mining scripts have some benchmark mode:

And / or of course other coins like the ones more popular.
Thank you!

Will give it a couple months but I am looking forward to finally upgrading my video card from my old GTX 770 to one of these 5700 cards.

Very, very awesome. A GPU from AMD that competes with the 2080s at half their price. Nvidia needs to start worrying...especially since AMD has Fine Wine Drivers meaning that these cards will only become better and better.

Looks like Nvidia had abandoned their OpenGL driver optimizations. But most of the recent games came in Vulkan now, eider by Feral ports, or by Proton, where Nvidia still had a lead.

Sounds like unfortunate launches of Ryzen 3000 and Navis ... one needs newer kernel, other needs older distro

But OK all that is really new, chipset too so hopefully combo will be in great beta shape by the Xmas

AMD has done great, disruptive work with Ryzen 3000. It's a shame that navi is a bit of a non story after nvidia cut prices and released the super cards.

Looking good, better than i would have guessed.

[loganj]

finally a amd gpu that does not use that much power.
and it also looks so greate.
Now i really want o see the DXVK/Vulkan performance
