We've published a great deal of benchmarks looking at the
Linux "fglrx" driver (now more commonly referred to as the Linux

AMD related, and that's in addition to nearly a dozen graphics card
reviews. On the AMD side, all of our testing has been done with the
consumer-grade Radeon GPUs and IGPs, but that has changed today. In this

graphics card and specifically looking at how the Windows and Linux
performance compares.
