Again, using the Phoronix Test Suite you can easily automate your own OpenGL Linux benchmarks and run direct comparisons against these numbers by simply running phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1403315-PTS-SOURCEEN62.
Team Fortress 2 also hit a CPU bottleneck at 1920 x 1080 with the modern hardware, but it will be interesting to see how the performance is with the open-source drivers... It's a very different story. Stay tuned for those numbers in April.
There you have it for those that have been asking for more Source Engine Linux benchmarks on Linux... While we welcome new benchmark requests and Linux hardware reviews at Phoronix, before making suggestions be sure to read about our testing requirements and running benchmarks on other new Linux games.
Stay tuned for more open-source Linux graphics driver benchmarks in April. For some other more-demanding OpenGL GPU benchmarks to see on Ubuntu 14.04 Linux, see our recent 30-way Linux graphics card comparison.
