Open-Source ATI R600/700 Mesa 3D Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| Our test system was made up of an Intel Core
| i3 530 clocked at 3.31GHz, an ECS H55H-M
| motherboard, 2GB of OCZ DDR3-1333MHz memory,
| and a 64GB OCZ Vertex SSD. On the software
| side we were running a snapshot of Ubuntu
| 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" that included the Linux
| 2.6.32-12 (x86_64) kernel, GNOME 2.29.6, X
| Server 1.7.4 RC2, xf86-video-radeon 6.12.99,
| Mesa 7.7, and an EXT4 file-system. Many other
| distributions this quarter and next are
| shipping with Mesa 7.7 and the Linux 2.6.32
| kernel so this should provide an overall look
| at what to expect in terms of the open-source
| R500/600/700 3D performance. Besides the
| already mentioned plans for future articles,
| we will also be delivering fresh ATI Radeon
| benchmarks from Fedora 13 to see how the
| latest bleeding edge code is performing.

MD R600/700 2D Performance: Open vs. Closed Drivers
,----[ Quote ]
| From the three different test profiles we used and the two
| graphics cards that were tested, nearly every time the open-
| source driver stack wound up being faster than the Catalyst 9.10
| driver. Past tests of other graphics cards and drivers have shown
| the 2D performance to be better on the open-source side, albeit
| these 2D tests are not very real-world representative (nor do
| they reflect the CPU usage) and on the 3D side the proprietary
| Catalyst driver is significantly faster and more feature-rich
| than the current open-source code.
