The Radeon hardware was tested with the Linux AMDGPU Git code plus Mesa 17.3-dev + LLVM 6.0 SVN via the Padoka PPA on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Additionally, for the Radeon RX Vega results the "PRO" results are when using the launch-day AMDGPU-PRO 17.30 driver. All of the NVIDIA hardware tested was using the 384.59 proprietary Linux driver atop the Linux 4.13 Git kernel.

All of these tests were done using an Intel Core i7 7740X system running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the ASUS PRIME X299-A motherboard, 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200 Corsair memory, Samsung SSD 950 PRO 256GV NVMe SSD, and the mentioned graphics cards. All of the graphics cards were running at stock speeds. A Vega Linux overclocking article will be coming later this week.
