This is very outdated.
- Catalyst doesn’t exist anymore, it was replaced by AMDGPU-PRO years ago.
- The Radeon Mesa driver (radeonsi) is generally faster than AMDGPU-PRO OpenGL for gaming, and has been for years. On the Vulkan side, performance is usually fairly close between the Mesa driver (RADV), AMDVLK and AMDGPU-PRO.
- AMDGPU is just the kernel driver, which is used by both the Mesa drivers and AMDGPU-PRO, so why is it listed separately?
- For Intel, I think the hardware was holding it back more than the driver, especially since they’ve replaced the classic Mesa drivers with Gallium based ones. But now they’re doing the Arc stuff.
- I don’t know if I would say that Nvidia proprietary runs well
So as a RX580 user I should be using Radeon Mesa driver?
Yes. The default out of the box experience is pretty great with AMD + any mainstream distro.
Proprietary nvidia driving well?
I’m currently considering buying an AMD GPU just so that I don’t constantly have to troubleshoot the nvidia driver when I want to game.
As others have mentioned, this is super old. Also, catalyst is not nearly as reckless and dangerous as it should be. It was more like letting a drunk child drive a school bus.
Those have additional safeties like speed governerners, which balances out the drunk child driving it 👌
