Amazingly, the HD 6870 scores a whopping 922, which is a massive increase over the HD 5870 and puts it on par with the GTX 480. Typical scores for 1920x1200 4xAA Extreme are 900+ for the GTX 480 and 500+ for the HD 5870. On the other hand, it was GTX 400's strongest benchmark, with the GTX 480 proving to be an incredible 75% faster than the HD 5870 for the (unrealistic) Extreme preset. Unigine's Heaven tessellation has been and one of the biggest weaknesses of the HD 5000 series, possibly signifying weak tessellation performance for future games. At these kind of settings, previous single GPU cards barely broke 30 fps average, which means the HD 6870's minimum framerate is the same as the average of HD 5870 / GTX 480. Crysis has been well and truly conquered at HD resolutions with high IQ settings. Here are the Crysis and Unigine scores:īut, can it play Crysis? At Very High, 1920x1200, 4x AA, the HD 6870 comfortably plays along at 43.55 fps. It's about 20 percent faster than the GeForce GTX 480, and closing in on the dual-GPU Radeon HD 5970. The card delivers a score of X12092 in the 3DMark Vantage Extreme benchmark, and P24499 in the Performance benchmark. The numbers were published at the Asian PCinlife Forums, it includes 3DMark Vantage Extreme & Performance, Crysis Very High and Unigine Heaven scores.

Sadly, AMD hasn't released any Catalyst Linux driver updates in recent weeks, likely due to being busy with the new "AMDGPU" unified Linux driver strategy or other factors. The Catalyst testing was done using the stock Ubuntu 14.10 kernel (Linux 3.16) for Catalyst ABI driver compatibility and we used the packaged driver (fglrx 14.20.7 / OpenGL 8) as the latest stable driver that supports X.Org Server 1.16.0. Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X 2048MB (1100/1400MHz)įrom Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit with the Xfce desktop, the open-source driver stack tested last week was the Linux 3.18 Git kernel, xf86-video-ati 7.5.99, LLVM 3.6 SVN, and Mesa 10.4-devel. The AMD graphics cards used for testing were a mix of old and new, low and high end AMD GPUs I had available at the time of testing: Both games also meet our requirements for automation and interaction with the Phoronix Test Suite for fully automated and reproducible performance benchmarking. As mentioned in the earlier article, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive were chosen as being two popular Steam on Linux games with CS:GO having only been released a brief time ago for Linux. Last week I posted the original 16-way CS:GO and TF2 Radeon Gallium3D results while today's numbers have the Catalyst result added in using the fglrx packaged driver for Ubuntu 14.10. In this article are the full results from comparing the open and closed-source AMD Linux graphics cards with sixteen Radeon graphics cards while testing Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Linux. Last week I shared some preview benchmarks from Steam on Linux showing Radeon Gallium3D starting to beat Catalyst.
