A short video checking out the recently released UE4 Elemental demo running on both Ubuntu and Windows, this time on AMD hardware. Currently, Unreal Engine 4 is still in development for Linux. Thus, this is just a short sneak peak on where the performance currently is.

On both the Ubuntu and Windows side, I am using the AMD Catalyst 14.6 RC drivers. Thus, there should be no discrepancies here hopefully.

I was surprised to see that Windows 7 struggled to keep going on with this demo, despite showing higher frames per second than Ubuntu.

Whilst Windows 7 still takes the lead with FPS, it does not do it elegantly and I feel that the Ubuntu experience would be more sufficient despite the lower FPS.

All in all though, the HD5000 series cards are most definitely not the target of Unreal Engine 4. Not even my Nvidia 680 card does that well.

I look forward to seeing UE4 deliver performance at the same quality Unigine does for both platforms in the future.

I apologize in advance if I've made any mistakes, I did the comparison to the best of my knowledge and hopefully have a consistent set of constants and variables in place to ensure this test is beneficial to you, the viewer.

For the On-Screen-Display on Ubuntu, I used GLXOSD which can be found here:

For the On-Screen-Display on Windows, I used MSI Afterburner which can be found here:
