The Best, Most Efficient Graphics Cards For 1080p Linux Gamers

With Metro Last Light Redux, the higher-end NVIDIA graphics cards were getting CPU bound at just over 150 FPS, while the Radeon R9 Fury was tapping out at 76 FPS, similarly to the Radeon R9 290. The other Radeon hardware on Catalyst was running at just ~60+ FPS. For Metro Last Light Redux at 1080p, the GeForce GTX 970 or higher will do you well on Linux.

The GTX 950 still was leading in being the best value proposition and could run at over 120 FPS for this game, but if you want a bit more power, the GTX 960 delivers the next best value for this great Linux game.

When it comes to the performance-per-Watt, the GeForce GTX 970 was leading followed by the GTX 980.
