When Xonotic reached its ultimate image quality settings, the Radeon R9 Fury and R9 290 were both running faster than the GeForce GTX 970! But the Radeon R9 285's performance remained rather low -- well behind the GTX 680.

Under the demanding Unigine Valley test case, the R9 285 and R7 370 were the slowest tested GPUs. The R9 290 was meanwhile competing with the GeForce GTX 680 while the the Radeon R9 Fury was coming up short of the GTX 970.

Lastly for some fun was the very demanding Furmark synthetic test case, where the R9 Fury managed to get a striking first place finish -- even coming out ahead of the GTX 980 Ti for this test known for stressing GPUs to 100% capacity.

Those are the latest results. If you wish to compare your own system's OpenGL results to all of the data presented today, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1604287-HA-FRESHMESA06. It's that easy with the open-source Phoronix Test Suite and OpenBenchmarking.org!
