NVIDIA GeForce 8: Linux vs. Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| After being tipped off that there may be some serious performance regressions
| with the GeForce 8 series on alternative operating systems, we explored this
| issue further and after confirming this problem exists in the latest Linux
| display driver, we have conducted some Windows XP and Linux benchmarks to
| explore this issue further.

The open source drivers for Linux (2D) work better than the binary. Both ATI
and NVIDIA...

Quake 4 On XP, Vista, & Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| However, I spent the extra time and while I was at it had run three
| Quake 4 v1.3 benchmarks in XP, Vista, and Fedora Core 6 (2.6.20 kernel).
| The hardware used was a modest AMD Sempron setup with a NVIDIA GeForce
| 6150 and the NVIDIA 1.0-9755 drivers (the hardware chosen was to
| represent the more common Linux user rather than using an octal-core
| setup). The NVIDIA driver on Vista was 100.65 while the XP version
| was 93.71. Below is the average frame-rate from each test on each
| operating system.

| the Avivo driver with ShadowFB enabled had sharply outperformed the
| 8.39 fglrx driver (partly due to the CPU operations).
