Quoting: The_AquabatHI @Avehicle7887 can you run The unigine Superposition benchmark please? really interested in the results. thanks.

Currently applying a few final tweaks to the system then I will start the benchmarks, got any setting preferences in mind for that test? :)


In other news, ACO is working as expected:



-----
EDIT (Some games in action)

Race Driver GRID (testing 32bit functionality)


Outward (testing aco)



Very happy with the card overall.

Unigine isn't a very useful test really. It's not using Vulkan.

I'd use games for that, not synthetic benchmarks. The former are more interesting cases.

Quoting: The_Aquabat@Avehicle7887 Do you own Shadow Of the Tomb Raider?? or Rise of the Tomb Raider? that would be interesting for me also.

are you using a Ryzen 1700X? shouldn't be that much different from my Ryzen 2600 in gaming at least.

I don't own any of the TR games since I don't use Steam (I'm aware these games make a good benchmark).

As for the CPU, I'm using an Intel G4560 with 8GB ram. It's sort of my test bench for experiments and breaking stuff. If you wish I can still try to provide a Basemark/Unigine benchmark. The tests would be based on Mesa 20.0.1 + Kernel 5.5.10 :)

A few more screenshots to show what performance you can expect from this card, haven't ran into any issues so far. Witcher 3 got the Mesa 20.0.2 treatment that was released yesterday.

As a reminder, the GPU is sometimes bottlenecked by the Intel G4560 CPU, so your mileage may vary depending on the game.

No Man's Sky (Ultra settings)



Shadow Warrior 2 (Ultra)



Witcher 3 (Ultra - Hairworks Geralt only)

yes please I would like to see the results of a UNigine Superposition Benchmark at 1080p extreme preset.

For some reason I can't get Superposition to run (complains about xcb error in terminal), ironically though the older Heaven benchmark works just fine.

Here's what I got (Ignore the GPU Section, the program doesn't detect it properly but the numbers seem to be correct compared against my RTX 2060S):



PS: Working on that Basemark bench.

I moved the GPU to my old gaming rig which runs an i5-4590, since this is slightly faster than the G4560 it was being tested on. I've also decided to run some 3840x1080 tests which you'll find below.

Personal Thoughts (Mini Review):

So after almost 2 weeks with this card, I can say I'm very happy for the price I paid (more on this later). The performance is more or less equal to the older AMD RX 580 and Nvidia GTX 1060, which is what I expected from the start. As far as stability goes, I haven't had any issues (Latest Linux firmware, libdrm 2.4.100, Kernel 5.5.x, Mesa 20.0.x, LLVM 9/10, ACO enabled).

To put this card's performance in perspective with modern competition, it sits right behind the slightly more expensive Nvidia GTX 1660 Super model. Going back to the price, I paid 240 euro to import this from the U.S (Amazon), as it's not available locally - Malta.

If you're looking for a solid 1080p card with Open Source support this is a fine choice, furthermore if you find an RX 580 for a cheaper price and don't care about power consumption, that's an even better choice as performance is roughly the same between the two.

Ok off to the screenshots:

Shadow Warrior 2

Hm, familiar area. Is it Rannvaig?
