With yesterday's lengthy AMD Radeon RX 480 Linux review and the follow-up posts for this Polaris graphics card launch, I didn't have too much time to run OpenCL compute tests. However, here are some fresh OpenCL Polaris numbers with the AMDGPU-PRO driver stack for those curious about the compute potential of this $199+ graphics card.

To OpenBenchmarking.org I've uploaded a number of standalone OpenCL GPGPU results for the Radeon RX 480 with the AMDGPU-PRO 16.30 driver atop Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

I didn't have time yet to run any comparisons myself against my other AMD/NVIDIA hardware, but you can easily see your own system's compute performance side-by-side when simply installing the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1606308-HA-RX480LINU81 -- it's that easy assuming your system's drivers/hardware are setup for GPGPU computing!

I'll have more Polaris OpenCL benchmarks out soon.
