Nouveau vs. NVIDIA Quadro

2D / 3D OpenGL benchmarking of the NVIDIA 290.10 binary Linux driver compared to Nouveau as found in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin repository as of 30 January. Then using the same Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 30-January snapshot but pulling in the latest xf86-video-nouveau, Linux 3.3 kernel, and Mesa 8.0-devel components. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel.
