Following final month’s launch of the Intel Arc Graphics A580 for a sub-$200 graphics card backed by an open-source Linux driver stack I ran some benchmarks trying on the Intel Arc Graphics compute efficiency towards NVIDIA’s proprietary driver stack. In at present’s article is a contemporary have a look at the 1080p Linux gaming/graphics efficiency throughout Intel Arc Graphics, AMD Radeon, and NVIDIA GeForce GPUs whereas utilizing the most recent Linux drivers.
Right this moment’s article is providing a contemporary have a look at the Linux gaming/graphics efficiency within the mid-range house with a deal with 1080p. For this contemporary comparability was Ubuntu 23.10 with the Linux 6.6-rc5 kernel in use. The Intel and AMD Radeon graphics have been working on Mesa 23.3-devel by way of the Oibaf PPA as of 14 October. On the NVIDIA facet was the identical system {hardware}/software program however utilizing the NVIDIA 545.23.06 Linux driver as the most recent on the time.
The graphics playing cards examined for this 1080p-focused Linux gaming comparability included:
– Intel Arc Graphics A380
– Intel Arc Graphics A580
– Intel Arc Graphics A750
– Intel Arc Graphics A770
– AMD Radeon RX 6600
– AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
– AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT
– AMD Radeon RX 6800
– AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
– AMD Radeon RX 7600
– AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT
– AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT
– NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
– NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
– NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
– NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
– NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
– NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
The comparability was restricted with the graphics playing cards I had accessible (with for instance nonetheless lacking out on a lot of the RTX 40 collection attributable to NVIDIA not sampling them to Phoronix for Linux testing) and clearly foregoing the very top-end NVIDIA/AMD playing cards that are not actually centered on 1080p Linux gaming and simply grow to be CPU certain.
