Phoronix reader and forum contributor "Darkbasic" who previously showed that Gallium3D-Nine for RadeonSI can compete with Catalyst in Wine-based tests is out with some interesting numbers of his own using our Counter-Strike: Global Offensive benchmark.
His latest tests find RadeonSI is on par with Catalyst. The open-source Radeon tests were done with the Linux 3.17 kernel having the 3.18 drm-next code, HyperZ enabled, LLVM 3.6 Git, and other bleeding-edge code compared to the latest AMD.com public release of the Catalyst Linux driver.
The results are interesting and in the days ahead we'll have more Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Linux benchmarks.
