Phoronix: GravityMark OpenGL/Vulkan Performance For NVIDIA RTX 30 vs. AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series

A few days ago I wrote about GravityMark as a new cross-API GPU benchmark from a former Unigine developer. Being curious about the Linux GPU driver performance for this benchmark that is focused on delivering maximum GPU acceleration support, I ran some benchmarks on the latest NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards with this benchmark for OpenGL and Vulkan.

Does anyone have problem starting GravityMark on Arch?

./GravityMark.x64: error while loading shared libraries: libTellusim_x64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
E:   2.619 s: Client::read(): can't exec "./GravityMark.x64 -vk -ta 1 -a 50000 -fps 1 -info 1 -sensors 1 -benchmark 1" command

Here are the results for my GTX 1660 Ti: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...6/post-4543860

For some reasons the test runs a lot faster under Windows 10 than under Linux. You'd think that Vulkan, being very close to HW, should have similar performance under different OS'es but that's not the case.

Lastly, the OpenGLES test crashes NVIDIA drivers: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/...drivers/181025

NVIDIA is yet to confirm or fix the problem.

I've been told by the CEO that they will fix the issue in the next public release.

Strange how AMD's performance scaled worse as resolution went up. Normally I would think it'd get better, seeing as they have more VRAM. But, perhaps this benchmark doesn't really stress VRAM much.

It might be more about memory bandwidth than capacity. Nvidia GPU have the faster GDDR6X, which I think is what helps them a lot.

Need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the location of the library.

Works good @ Ubuntu 21.04, Mesa 21.1.2 - kisak-mesa PPA + RADV:

wget https://tellusim.com/download/GravityMark_1.1b.run
bash GravityMark_1.1b.run --noexec --target GravityMark_1.1b
cd GravityMark_1.1b/bin/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ ./Browser.x64 -root browser/ ../browser.zip

Hm...

[frustum]

Hm...

There is no AVX support on i7-3635QM. It's not, actually, required for the benchmark. It looks like we missed it.

There is a benchmark update at https://gravitymark.com where LD_LIBRARY_PATH modification is not required.
