AMD GPU-PRO vs. NVIDIA Linux OpenCL Compute Performance

Right away with SHOC's FFT SP test, the GPU-PRO stack isn't performing too well at present. First of all, the Radeon R9 290 was more than twice as fast as the Radeon R9 Fury. But the test may be partially at fault within the Scalable Heterogeneous Computing software as even the GTX 980/970 ended up being faster than the 980 Ti and TITAN X. However, besides that, all of the tested NVIDIA graphics cards were significantly faster than the AMD Radeon offerings.

With the MD5 hash test, the Radeon hardware on the Linux GPU-PRO driver was at least fairly competitive. However, the NVIDIA hardware ended up performing better -- e.g. the GTX 980 came out much faster than the R9 Fury.

With the maximum single-precision FLOPS test, the Radeon R9 Fury narrowly came out ahead of the GTX TITAN X for this quick test.

The NVIDIA cards returned to doing much better when it came to the texture read bandwidth.
