Thanks to AMD and NVIDIA for providing the relevant review samples. All of these cards were freshly tested on Ubuntu 19.04 while upgrading to the Linux 5.3 kernel. On the NVIDIA side their newest NVIDIA 435.21 Linux driver was used throughout while on the Radeon side it was Mesa 19.3-devel built against the LLVM 9.0 back-end.

Via the Phoronix Test Suite a range of native Linux games were benchmarked as well as Steam Play titles at 1080p / 1440p / 4K. The Phoronix Test Suite was also monitoring the GPU temperatures in real-time as well as the overall AC power consumption using a WattsUp Pro power meter for delivering accurate performance-per-Watt metrics.
