NVIDIA R565 vs. Linux 6.13 + Mesa 25.0 Git AMD / Intel Graphics For Linux Gaming
While the Arc Graphics Alchemist GPUs ran well with the Unigine Superposition OpenGL benchmark, with the Xonotic open-source first person shooter game using OpenGL the results were not competitive on the DG2/Alchemist line-up.
The same goes for the Unvanquished open-source shooter game rendered using OpenGL.
The RADV Vulkan driver continues to see ongoing improvements to better its Vulkan ray-tracing performance and has come a long way over the past year.
While not the focus of today's tests, the Vulkan compute performance can be quite competitive for both the Radeon RADV and Intel ANV Mesa drivers on current hardware... Stay tuned for more GPU compute benchmarks later in the week.
That's the quick look at where the Intel / AMD / NVIDIA graphics currently stand when using the very latest Linux graphics drivers: the NVIDIA R565 series and then Mesa 25.0-devel with Linux 6.13 Git for Intel and AMD. We'll see where the Intel Battlemage Linux performance clocks in soon.
