In recent weeks we have published a number of benchmarks
showcasing the ATI Gallium3D driver that supports the R300-R500 graphics
processors as this open-source driver has been maturing at such an
exciting rate with impressive changes and measurable performance gains
over a short period of time. This ATI Gallium3D driver in most instances
is outperforming the classic Radeon Mesa driver that supports up through
the ATI Radeon X1000 series graphics cards. However, how is the Nouveau
driver maturing that supports NVIDIA's wide-range of GeForce graphics
cards? In February we published some Nouveau Gallium3D benchmarks, but
now we have a fresh set of numbers from three different NVIDIA graphics
cards and we also compare the Nouveau Gallium3D driver to NVIDIA's
proprietary Linux driver.
