23-Way Graphics Card Comparison With Shadow of the Tomb Raider On Linux

[ObiWan]

Well at least the 5700XT is probably hindered by no using llvm10 or aco

R9 3900X with 5700XT on Highest 1080p:
aco: 116 fps
llvm: 113 fps

Expect some bulk-move enabled benchmarks in a couple of days then! :-)

Something amiss with the scores ,

Manjaro

All Stock clocked
3900x
VII GPU
mesa ACO
1080p

Highest preset no AA

118 average

Phoronix has it at 102

The fact that a 9900k was used @ 5gh should have yielded even better result than what I got I would have thought.

That's why.

Unlike other distributions that focus on LTS versions, Server versions, Paid versions, CLI only, and more in addition to their desktop versions, Manjaro only focuses on their desktops and a minimal CLI installer that's mainly used for getting alternate desktops up and running...stuff not XFCE, KDE, or Gnome.

Being damn-near bleeding edge and only focusing their attention on desktop usage gives them a slight edge for gaming.

All that makes Manjaro the quintessential Linux Desktop for Gaming OS.

Also, there's a very good chance that you're using some AUR packages built with march=native and those really help give Arch & Manjaro a performance edge over most general purpose distributions.

I've finally had some time to sit down and really get to work on my Radeon VII now, I've managed to get an average of 131 FPS at 1080p, highest settings, no AA, using the following:

Clocks: 1900mhz core, 1100mhz memory, 1050 mv
Mesa: mesa-aco-git 20.0.0_devel.20200115
Kernel: 5.4.8-17-tkg-pds
Compositor: None running at the time.

I'd love to try and push my Radeon VII a little further, but it seems to be unstable when I push either core or memory clocks up from there, and pumping in more voltage doesn't help either.

I recently decided to upgrade my old R9 290

the Vega 64 I tried was 20% less performance (Superposition Benchmark score 1599) than my Under clocked undervolted R9 290 (Superposition Benchmark score 1983)
but was more power efficient ~3 watts idle

so then tried an RX 570 (Superposition Benchmark score 2780) it out performed my R9 290 by ~ 30% but idled @ 30 watts vs my R9 290 12watts

is their a reason why the Vega would be 50% slower than the RX 570 instead of 50% faster ?
