35-Way Linux GPU Graphics Comparison, Initial NVIDIA RTX 40 SUPER Linux Benchmarks

Those interested in the NVIDIA compute benchmarks ran for today can find those numbers via this OpenBenchmarking.org result page.

For those in the market for a new desktop graphics card for Linux use, hopefully you found this large comparison useful as well as for the historical perspective on the RTX 40 and RX 7000 series versus the prior generations in the 35-way 1440p/1080p results. With NVIDIA's packaged Linux driver stack the new GeForce RTX 40 series hardware is working out very well from GPU compute to ray-tracing and conventional OpenGL/Vulkan graphics workloads. AMD's main advantage is with the fully open-source and upstream Linux graphics driver support and leaning in better value while when it comes to power efficiency with the RTX 40 SUPER cards they tended to be at the front of the race.

That's the data collected in time for today's NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER embargo lift. With the additional graphics cards now here, stay tuned for some further articles on Phoronix over the next few weeks looking more at the competitive GPU compute performance, additional gaming benchmarks, and other areas. Thanks to NVIDIA for supplying these review samples for today's Linux testing.
