14-Way AMD vs. NVIDIA Linux Gaming Performance For DiRT Showdown

[dimko]

Graphics seems to be easy to port. Game does not have advanced logic/physics. I am not amazed it was well "ported". I would buy it with a discount. Racing games are not that exciting for me.

Does this game actually crash on the Mesa drivers, or is it just "officially" unsupported on them?

Phoronix: 14-Way AMD vs. NVIDIA Linux Gaming Performance For DiRT Showdown

Yesterday marked the release of DiRT Showdown for Linux as ported over by Virtual Programming using their eON technology. With being able to use it as an automated, reproducible benchmark, I spent most of the day and into the night working on some initial AMD Radeon vs. NVIDIA GeForce graphics card benchmarks using this DiRT game that's finally available to Linux/SteamOS gamers, three years after it was released for Windows. This initial comparison is a 14-way Linux gaming graphics card comparison.
