This past Friday we had delivered benchmarks comparing the
performance of the open-source Radeon driver against the new
closed-source fglrx driver from AMD. These benchmarks had just looked at
the AIGLX performance when using Compiz on an Ubuntu 7.10 desktop. In
all of the benchmarks except one, the fglrx driver had carried a
staggering lead over the open-source competition. In addition to these
Compiz benchmarks, on the same system we had also ran some additional
benchmarks to see for gaming and 2D rendering how the two ATI Linux
drivers compare.
