Nvidia Maxwell Geforce GTX 980 OpenCL Benchmarks Conducted - Very Impressive Results

Its been a long time since I last posted benchmarks for the sake of posting benchmarks, but with the OpenCL tests conducted over at Phoronix.com the time to practice so has come one time again. The benchmarks were conducted on Linux using the Phoronix Examination Suite and basically decide the GPGPU performance of Maxwell flagship GTX 980 in terms of relative OpenCL performance.

GTX 980 Dominates OpenCL GPGPU Benchmarks Conducted in Linux

Before nosotros begin nevertheless, I would like to betoken out a flaw in their test that leaves them susceptible to accusations of biasness. There is no R9 290X (flagship Hawaii GPU) present and in its place is the R9 290, which every bit you lot all know isn't the total fat core. That said, in fairness to the guys over at Phoronix, these tests were probably conducted from eng samples they have received from companies, so it is somewhat excsueable that the R9 290X was omitted. Also the departure between the GTX 980 and the closest competitor is too great for the Hawaii Flagship to take fared significantly amend than the 290X. I am certain yous have had enough of me, so hither are the benches in all their celebrity.

Every bit yous tin see the Nvidia GTX 980 pretty much wipes the floor with all GPUs, Light-green or Red. Information technology still amazes me that this spring occurred on the aforementioned 28nm process. In most cases the runners upwards and second runners upward position is occupied by the GTX 780 Ti and the GTX Titan GPU but in other cases AMD's R9 290 Hawaii GPU claims this position for itself. It is in these instances that the R9 290X would accept truly shined. Yous tin imagine the left out GPU somewhat ahead of the R9 290. Information technology is also worth pointing out that the carte du jour was clocked at a mere 1126Mhz on the core and 3505 Mhz on the memory which is nowhere near the kind of clocks y'all get on good AIBs (~1400/3600).
