I used four AMD Radeon graphics cards for testing these two Linux proprietary driver releases and they were the Radeon HD 6950, Radeon HD 7950, Radeon R9 270X, and Radeon R9 290 graphics cards.

The packaged driver in Ubuntu 14.04 was fglrx 13.35.5 / OpenGL 8 (Catalyst 14.3).

Some Phoronix readers have reported performance changes with this new driver update, so I have done some comparison tests on several AMD Radeon graphics drivers to see how the performance compares with Catalyst 14.4 on Ubuntu Linux.įor this testing I tested the Catalyst 14.4 RC from Monday (fglrx 14.10.2 / OpenGL 4) and compared it to the Catalyst driver packaged within the Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" archive, given that most Ubuntu Linux AMD customers will likely be using that Ubuntu-packaged driver. AMD Catalyst 14.9.
On Monday AMD made publicly available the release candidate to the Catalyst 14.4 Linux driver that brings full OpenGL 4.4 support.
