Phoronix took a look at how NVIDIA's mid range cards performance on Linux has changed over the past four generations of GPU, from Fermi, through Kepler, Maxwell, and finally Pascal. CS:GO was run at 4k to push the newer GPUs as was DOTA, much to the dismay of the GTX 460. The scaling is rather interesting, there is a very large delta between Fermi and Kepler which comes close to being replicated when comparing Maxwell to Pascal. From the looks of the vast majority of the tests, the GTX 1060 will be a noticeable upgrade for Linux users no matter which previous mid range card they are currently using. We will likely see a similar article covering AMD in the near future.
"To complement yesterday's launch-day GeForce GTX 1060 Linux review, here are some more benchmark results with the various NVIDIA x60 graphics cards I have available for testing going back to the GeForce GTX 460 Fermi. If you are curious about the raw OpenGL/OpenCL/CUDA performance and performance-per-Watt for these mid-range x60 graphics cards from Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, and Pascal, here are these benchmarks from Ubuntu 16.04 Linux."

OpenGL/OpenCL/CUDA is what
OpenGL/OpenCL/CUDA is what was tested, so where are the Vulkan results. Let’s see some long term testing results over the next year on Vulkan and against AMD measuring the overall improvement on each GPU maker’s SKUs from the current and previous 2 generations of GPUs. With some new benchmarking tools that can measure/stress test any hardware based Async-Compute functionality that a GPU may or may not have.
There is plenty of code to test a CPU’s in hardware async-compute ability it should not be hard to convert that code/formulas over to the GPU’s instruction sets and test those processor threads out for single core efficiency and multi-processor-threads per core efficiency!

Wow! Well, I’d appreciate if you’d get on that as soon as possible. I mean if it’s not hard, could you get it done by next weekend maybe?
