NVIDIA GeForce vs. Radeon/AMDGPU OpenGL Performance On Ubuntu 16.04

[lowflyer]

Whether it is the only sensible test or not is not the point, The fact that AMD open source drivers are competitive against NVIDIA-proprietary is something noteworthy to say the least.
Apparently, Miachel has some backing in his anti-AMD bias.

gputest has seemed to show the 'real' strength of the cards for quite some time. What OpenGL features does it test - or more important does it not test - in particular?

As you mentioned issues with the latest Nvidia driver, maybe use this option to disable glvnd while installing: "--no-glvnd-glx-client" - i don't know why this causes problems with your games, but Nvidia likes to switch the default in the installer from one driver to the next.
