    Phoronix: AMDGPU-PRO OpenCL vs. NVIDIA 364 Compute Benchmarks On Ubuntu Linux

    Coming up in a short while I have some fresh AMDGPU-PRO BETA 2 (the fresh -PRO "hybrid" driver release) for OpenGL graphics performance while here are some quick OpenCL compute metrics...

    Hmm this is some very interesting progress, considering how new and un-polished this is. I like what I see.

      Why is the OpenCL performance with AMD on Windows still >30% higher, even compared to the hybrid/proprietary driver?

        i want to see the performance in game (but not only xonotic and other light OpenSource games).

          That's still sort of a disappointment considering that the Fury is suppposed to have more compute power and that Nvidia only provides basic OpenCL functionality since it really focuses on CUDA.

            this is about computing and has nothing to do with gaming or real time 3d graphics at all.

            Yeah, quite a bit. However, Nvidia's OpenCL implementation is not that bad and there is some OpenCL software that runs better on Nvidia. Blender's Cycles renderer didn't even run on AMD for quite some time, for example.

              yes i know, but i've only said that i would see a benchmark on gaming performance of this new driver

                And Michael said (since yesterday), that new benchmarks are on their way.
                Even if he didn't, I think it helps it you attach your requests/wishes to a tip/subscription.

                  I don't know if Blender is a good example, they Cycles's OpenCL kernel were one huge file, I don' know if it is a anti-pattern, but they had to split it in some files, each doing it's responsibility, and after this change it improved even on Nvidia

                    Me neither. It just came into my mind as 'worst case' (didn't work at all). But there are tests for Windows too, where Nvidia is faster in some OpenCL programs, I just wanted to refute the Nvidia is all over CUDA-view
