HD 4870X2: lights up, but no CrossFire open-source support. HD 2900XT: system would hang after booting, lose display HD 2400PRO: stability problems soon as testing began. X1950PRO: failed to schedule IB when it came to Tesseract test.

On the AMD side, the list of Radeon/FirePro issues on the open-source driver stack included: For performance testing, all of the cards suffered due to the already well-covered re-clocking issues. The tests most easy for thrashing the driver were Unvanquished and Xonotic. There were several cards running into mode-setting display issues, while for other cards there were stability issues when running some OpenGL workloads. GTX TITAN: Bad rendering with Unigine tests and UnvanquishedĪll NVIDIA Cards: obviously no good re-clocking. GTX 780 Ti: display failed to light up, after few tries, got it running on LLVMpipe only GTX 750 / 750 Ti: Poor Maxwell Nouveau support for now GT 610: extremely slow, monitor would stop displaying after a while Unvanquished failed with DRM errors about failed to idle channel along with Warsow. GT 240: mode-set, then corrupted screen - as always been the case for that card Also some corrupted text on boothĩ600GSO: After a while, font rendering was really poor display ultimately disappears quite some time into the testing process. Here were the problematic NVIDIA GeForce GPUs with the Nouveau tests of this latest driver stack:Ĩ500GT: Lost sync/display ater starting tests.Ĩ600GT: Hung on Reaction Quake 3 (fail ttm validate), Warsow, and UnvanquishedĨ800GT: GPU lockup when loading Tesseract, dmesg issues when running Reaction. However, for those wanting the short-story, embedded below are just my unedited notes I recorded when trying out the large assortment of graphics cards. Besides being the biggest GPU comparison ever conducted at Phoronix, it will also likely be the longest set of articles too. Within the article next week, I'll cover more closely all the struggles encountered with each of the graphics cards tested. While a majority of the graphics cards tested successfully completed the OpenGL and 2D benchmarks fine on the open-source Intel/AMD/NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers, it wasn't without quite a few failures too. The first round of testing with all of these graphics cards were when using the Linux 3.15 kernel as of a few days ago along with Mesa 10.3-devel and the updated DDXes as well, with the user-space components being obtained from the Oibaf PPA on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64.

While all of the graphics cards were tried, with the open-source drivers there were notable failures with both the AMD Radeon and Nouveau drivers. This morning I shared the list of the 60+ graphics cards being tested under Linux for a set of very interesting articles coming up in the days ahead in this massive Linux graphics comparison in celebration of 's 10th birthday next week.
