Phoronix: For Those Interested In GPGPU Compute, Here Are Many Radeon RX 480 OpenCL Tests

With yesterday's lengthy AMD Radeon RX 480 Linux review and the follow-up posts for this Polaris graphics card launch, I didn't have too much time to run OpenCL compute tests. However, here are some fresh OpenCL Polaris numbers with the AMDGPU-PRO driver stack for those curious about the compute potential of this $199+ graphics card...

Thank you a lot.

It is a bit hard to compare with the other cards since the tests are not always the same. I notice in luxball HDR not only did it perform way below a 980 but also below a 780ti...

EDIT and even a bit below a 960.

I will have some side-by-side CL results for this whole data set probably in a few days.

In luxmark database it's shown that its not even near half the score Michael got with 480.
Maybe you are comparing it with luxmark 2.0 scores?

Not sure how you interpreted, sources for clarification would be nice!

As the whole internet is loud about the suspected out-of-spec power consumption of the 480, a thorough testing of this would be welcome, if you have the equipment to do it. Make it premium-only, if needed. Motherboards running linux want to survive too!

I have posted all my full-system power results in the original article, or what are you wanting to know specifically?

I do not have access to the database you linked to. I have browsed the openbenchmark tests by videocard and tried to identify similar sounding tests to compare. I hope you are right and i failed. I will watch closely the coming tests.

@Michael: I think he is speaking about the consumption of the GPU card alone. Other tests put it at nearly 170 watts in charge.

Michael I heard some rumors, that RX 480 can draw more power through PCIe then allowed by specification.

[mibo]

To verify the out-of-specs power consumpition Michael would need to have an PCIe-extender with the devices to measure the current of all power supply paths to the gfx card...

I really wonder why AMD didn't put an 8-pin ATX connector and pulled the current through this. Everything would have been fine and within the specifications.

"... this $199+ graphics card ..."

RX 480 8GB is 293 EUR at my location.

4GB is $199 and 8GB is $229... while it is actualy $239 plus $54 tax for Europe and $=EUR somehow became regular price

Dunno how i get to that math , but price is sort of somewhat $50 more in Europe it seems . How much are nvidia cards more expensive at launch time in EU?
