NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 vs. 760 vs. 960 vs. 1060 Linux Performance

Not bad for a $300 graphics card.

Begins on 250us (+shipping)



But for now in newegg all models stay sold out

Michael - you ever thought of adding arrayfire to the benchmarks you use for OpenCL/Cuda? That library is highly tuned to supporting different processors/arches pretty well, more than most GPU software is. You can see some meaningful common benchmarks of the library here: http://arrayfire.com/arrayfire-bench...aswell-part-1/

Never heard of it before... But looking at that page, unfortunately no documentation how to actually run those tests in an automated manner... If you can point me to any guide or pre-existing script, happy to incorporate it into PTS.

4K again… nobody uses 4K. And these cards are not made for 4K gaming.

There are also 1080p tests there... 4K were for the less demanding games.

Instead of the GTX 460, I would have loved to see comparison with the AMD RX 480 both 4GB and 8GB models.

AMD didn't send me a 4GB model and I don't have any extra funds to buy one.... I did 8GB RX 480 perf-per-watt tests last week with everything but the 1060.

On Linux, almost every game is OpenGL. With OpenGL, the programmers can't easily control which textures are loaded into VRAM. If the textures aren't loaded, you get a stall. Even if you're only doing 1080p, I would go with the 8 GB version for that reason.

That reminds me... time to go ask about 470s & 460s...

I supposedly have a briefing on a not-too-distant date about something... (I replied to that E person two days ago but didn't hear any confirmation yet or anything.) No idea if it's related to product seeding or just Windows stuff, but feel free to email me...

Back order and sold out. It's $300 until Nvidia stops with the Founders Edition crap. And backorder/soldout doesn't count.

I really look forward to see power consumption test resuls of RX 470 vs 1060!

RX 460 should be sexier Michael to have, as it is cheapest one to which iGPUs can't do nothing in coming years Chip will be in laptops too, so twice interesting

I really look forward to see power consumption test resuls of RX 470 vs 1060!

RX 470 seems rated as 110W and RX 460 as under 75W.
