AMD Catalyst Ubuntu Linux Performance - fglrx 9.1.11

AMD Radeon HD 5770, Radeon HD 6570, and Radeon HD 7950 graphics card benchmarks of fglrx 9.0.2 and fglrx 9.1.11 Linux graphics drivers. Looking at the AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta 6 OpenGL performance optimizations under Linux that were made for Valve/Source on Linux with Left 4 Dead 2 but seeing what other workloads have improved too as a result or other changes. Benchmarks for a future article on a Phoronix.com. Unigine testing on the new AMD Catalyst Linux Beta driver failed due to invalid memory reference errors on all of the tested AMD Radeon GPUs.
