AMD GPU-PRO vs. NVIDIA Linux OpenCL Compute Performance

Switching over to the LuxMark OpenCL test, with the first scene the R9 Fury was running between a GTX 960 and GTX 970.

The R9 Fury at least became more competitive in the other OpenCL scenes.

There you have it for those interested in the OpenCL compute performance with AMD's new GPU-PRO hybrid driver and how it compares to NVIDIA's offerings. The hybrid OpenCL support is certainly much better than what's made possible by the current OpenCL Clover-based Radeon compute offering, but based upon some of these benchmark results, more optimizations and improvements are still needed.
