Radeon Linux 4.6 + Mesa 11.3 vs. NVIDIA Linux Performance & Perf-Per-Watt
These results are very interesting, AMD always performed better on higher resolutions compared to NVIDIA on windows, but on linux the gap is huge.
Someone wanting to play CSGO on a more competitive manner on linux using 120 or 144hertz monitors is gonna have to resort to using nvidia graphics to stay above 144fps at all times, at least until 4k@120hertz monitors with Displayport 1.3 are out.
CS:GO and Xonotic are clearly CPU bound at 1080p. Seems like Mesa has quite some overhead - but it's still pretty damn fast, considering the software architecture.
