Benchmark: LuxMark 2.0

LuxMark is an open-source, cross-platform GPU computing benchmark. Based on LuxRender, a freeware rendering program, this GPGPU benchmark tests each graphics card's ability to construct a complex scene using OpenCL.

If ever there was a benchmark that's an AMD benefit, LuxMark 2.0 is it. Using OpenCL and tapping into the cards' GPGPU capabilities, equivalent Radeons are up to 3x faster. Do bear this in mind if compute-centric perf is important to you.
