The oldest Radeon card tested in this article is the HD 2900XT, which was released in 2007. On the newer side, the Radeon R7 370 still runs into problems with DisplayPort but worked fine with the dual-link DVI connection. One exception was the FirePro V8800 GPU would produce a blank screen followed by no signal output if setting a 1920x1080 resolution via XRandR, so that card had to be dropped from testing.

When using the Radeon DRM driver of Linux 4.12, it was in good shape on this older hardware. Sometimes there are regressions in the stack, not just in regards to 3D but particularly mode-setting has been troubling at times with this older hardware. Overall, the state of the Radeon/R600g support for the Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000/5000/6000 series was still quite good, and in fact an improvement over the last year or so.

Then on the NVIDIA side for some reference when using their latest Linux drivers included the following hardware, recently featured in the 28-way NVIDIA-focused Linux tests: Sadly, I have a lot more older Radeon cards than I do newer Radeon cards (and more GeForce cards than Radeon, thanks to NVIDIA's continued support and Linux interest) as back in the day ATI/AMD (and their AIB partners) seemed more interested in Linux hardware reviews/benchmarks than they do today and most of these GCN cards were hardware I ended up purchasing, with few exceptions. Graphics cards tested for this comparison included: I tested an assortment of new and old GPUs, basically all that I had available, aside from the Radeon GPUs that were busy on other test systems or lodged away in rackmounted cases. It's time for our occasional roundabout seeing how the legacy Radeon hardware is doing with the modern Linux graphics driver stack that continues to support this old hardware.

Unlike Catalyst / Radeon Software proprietary drivers, the open-source Linux driver stack continues supporting vintage GPUs even to the R300 series and beyond, but for this comparison I limited it to the original R600 GPU, the HD 2900XT. This year I ran a number of AMD GPU Linux tests using the 4.12 development kernel and Mesa 17.2-dev Git stack built against LLVM 5.0 SVN via the Padoka PPA. In total there were 51 graphics cards tested for this comparison of Radeon cards as well as NVIDIA GeForce hardware for reference.Įach June we generally do a large Linux GPU comparison looking at the state of the current drivers, timed around the birthday of Phoronix with the site turning 13 next week. This year we go from the new Radeon RX 580 all the way back to the Radeon HD 2900XT, looking at how the mature Radeon DRM kernel driver and R600 Gallium3D driver is working for aging ATI/AMD graphics hardware. It's that time of the year where we see how the open-source AMD Linux graphics driver stack is working on past and present hardware in a large GPU comparison with various OpenGL games and workloads.
