Linux 3D AGP GPU Roundup: More Cutting Edge Penguin Performance

jmke · 4th October 2004, 10:59

The focus of this analysis is not to fire up glxgears, and see which program runs it faster. Instead, we want to look at some common graphics intensive applications for Linux and determine how well they run, particularly in relation to their Windows counterparts. We are interested in more than just the benchmark results - getting there is half the fun, and coincidentally, half the weighting for a purchase decision for many of us. Invariably, we will draw some conclusions from one GPU family to another out of the eleven cards that we have chosen to compare today.

Excellent article! I think these kind of articles are giving ATI the final push to create decent linux drivers.

Nvidia, linux vs w32 drivers: -20% to +5%
ATI, linux vs w32 drivers: -75 to -50%....
