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.

    ...anyone who isn't part of the Microsoft human centipede.

    Tablet platforms obviously come to mind. Their ascendancy is probably why more developers seem to care about OpenGL these days. Macs and Linux are probably just fortunate benefactors of that.

    DX "like" isn't quite good enough.

    Plus you forgot to mention what Nintendo uses.
