Today Basemark releases version 1.1 of its multi-platform graphics hardware evaluation tool Basemark® GPU. Basemark GPU has been made available for free to download and use for personal users. Additionally, Basemark has provided professional versions for Benchmark Development Program members, corporate and commercial users.
Basemark® GPU 1.1 Benchmark offers unparalleled, objective comparisons between Vulkan, OpenGL, OpenGL ES and now DirectX 12 for graphics performance analysis across both mobile and desktop platforms. Our desktop Linux version of Basemark® GPU 1.1 will be available in the next few days utilizing the easily installable universal Flatpak delivery format.
You can download the 3GB benchmark from THIS PAGE (direct link).
I tested this new version on my new test bench based on an Intel Core i7-8700K. This time, I managed to run the benchmark on Radeon GPUs but I had some failures on NVIDIA GTX 1080 (the benchmark started up correctly but didn’t finish the tests for an unknown reason, and this for all 3D APIs).
Here are the results.

Not easy to interpret these results. On GeForce, the scores are more or less similar no matter the 3D API. On Radeon GPUs, there is a clear difference between OpenGL and other APIs. But in OpenGL the RX Vega 56 has the same perfs than the RX 470, like if something has capped the performances. And the permanent crash of the GTX 1080 is really weird…
doesnt really look all that impressive…almost fortnight-ish..
