Phoronix posted NVIDIA/AMD OpenGL Linux Benchmarks of the upcoming Unigine Valley Benchmark



Continuing in the exclusive coverage of the yet-to-be-released Unigine Valley, here are some initial performance results for this visually-amazing multi-platform tech demo / benchmarks when using the OpenGL 3.2 Core renderer on Ubuntu Linux. A range of NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards were used for this initial testing of Unigine Valley. There's also benchmarks in this article of Unigine Heaven 4.0, which was just released yesterday.

The graphics cards tested for this comparison on the NVIDIA side were a GeForce 9800GTX, GT 220, GT 240, GTX 460, GTX 550 Ti, and GTX 680. On the Radeon side there was the Radeon HD 5750, HD 6570, HD 6770, HD 6870, HD 6950, and HD 7950. The latest proprietary graphics drivers (NVIDIA 310.14 and AMD fglrx 9.1.11) were used from the Ubuntu 13.04 development system backed by an AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core processor. Only the proprietary AMD/NVIDIA graphics cards were tested since Mesa/Gallium3D isn't yet in a state to support the latest Unigine Engine.
