22-Way SteamOS Graphics Card Comparison: NVIDIA Wins Across the Board (phoronix.com)

Posted by Soulskill on from the competitor-is-steamed dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A 22-way AMD Radeon vs. NVIDIA GeForce graphics card comparison on SteamOS 2.0 "Brewmaster" was carried out with one month to go until Steam Machines begin to ship. The article looks at the OpenGL performance of this Debian-based Linux distribution as well as the power/performance efficiency, thermal efficiency, and value of the entire line-up. The results make it pretty clear why the current range of Steam Machines with SteamOS all ship with NVIDIA graphics.

  1. ATI Radeon ruined it for me by hyperar · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    ATI is responsable that i didn't build up any more gaming PCs, in 2008 i bought an ATI Radeon HD 4870, at that moment, where i lived at least, it was one of the high end cards, ATI only offered the Dual 4870 and 4890 as better graphic cards. I thought i have built a very good gaming rig, and it turned out not being able to run Need For Speed Most Wanted (released 2005) with high settings, that day i decided that i would only play games on consoles, sure, they are less powerful, closed, but you put the disc and they run.
