Phoronix checks out how well AMD's FireGL and FirePro workstation cards do with the open-source Gallium3D driver, you can check it out
over here.
"How well do AMD's FireGL/FirePro workstation graphics cards
work with the open-source graphics drivers for Linux? It's something we
never have really focused on up to this point, since after all, most
workstation users are satisfied with using proprietary display drivers
on Linux. It is the workstation market that drives the proprietary Linux
driver development after all for AMD and NVIDIA, and that is really the
focus of development, not Linux gamers or enthusiasts. But curiosity got
the best of me, so here's what happens if you try to use an expensive
FirePro graphics card with the open-source driver stack and the Mesa
Gallium3D driver."
