Nouveau Ubuntu 12.10 NVIDIA

NVIDIA GeForce graphics card benchmarking under Linux. Testing stock Nouveau on Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 with Linux 3.5 / Mesa 9.0 compared to NVIDIA binary 304.43 graphics driver available from the nvidia-current Ubuntu Debian package. Also tested the NVIDIA blob when the graphics cards were operating at the same frequency as the Nouveau-detected default boot clock speeds. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
