How is AMD Radeon for Linux Gaming? - HD 7770 Benchmarks
198Everyone is suddenly saying AMD cards offer the best performance on Linux. Is that true?
Historically, AMD cards have offered the worst performance and the worst stability on Linux. The stability of AMD drivers have somewhat changed over the past year or two but the performance has not. Trust me, I'd know; I've done about a dozen benchmarks on AMD cards on this channel to date.
But the Linux community as a whole continues to claim that AMD cards and drivers are now suddenly offering better gaming and 3D performance over Nvidia cards. This may be the case with AMD's latest Vega series of cards, but certainly not with older cards like my HD 7770 here.
In fact, my Nvidia GT 730 did better on actual games (save performance benchmarks) than the HD 7770 did. That is pretty sad.
I recorded all the footage for this video on Fedora 27 with the Mesa 17.2 driver. All things equal, you could expect the same performance as seen here on Ubuntu 17.10.
