Linux GPU Performance

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the how-does-your-rack-stack dept.

CrzyP writes "AnandTech.com has benchmarked the most popular graphics cards from ATI and NVidia on the Linux OS (SuSE 9.1). It is interesting to see that they have also written a custom benchmarking tool which can also be downloaded from the article. Take a look at Kristopher Kubicki's "Linux 3D AGP GPU Roundup" to see how each of the mid to high end cards performed on the Penguin flavored system."

    NVidia provides binary drivers precompiled for the most common distors - RedHat, Fedora, Suse, Mandrake. They can't possibly provide binaries for all of them.
    Debian provides compiled nvidia kernel modules (in the non-free section, not in the main distribution) to match the compiled kernels they provide.
