* X.Org 7.2: ATI Open vs. Closed Drivers
posted by Thom Holwerda on Tue 6th Feb 2007 21:48 UTC, submitted by Michael
Icon"Last October we had compared the performance of the open-source R300 display driver against the closed-source fglrx driver for ATI Radeon graphics cards. In that comparison a Mobility Radeon X300 was used with X.Org 7.1, but we have decided to take another look at this driver comparison under X.Org 7.2. In this last comparison, the fglrx binary blob had greatly outperformed the open-source driver. While the fglrx driver remains faster, has the performance delta between these two drivers decreased?"
