hd-graphics-2500-mesa Intel Core i5-3470 testing with a MSI B75A-G43 (MS-7758) v2.0 and Intel Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core on openSUSE project 12.3 via the Phoronix Test Suite. This test is conducted while the NVIDIA blob is installed, with update-alternatives being used to route back the needed libraries for Mesa. This should show whether that has any negative effect on Mesa performance. openSUSE 12.3: Processor: Intel Core i5-3470 @ 3.20GHz (4 Cores), Motherboard: MSI B75A-G43 (MS-7758) v2.0, Chipset: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd, Memory: 8192MB, Disk: 640GB Western Digital WD6401AALS-0, Graphics: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core, Audio: Creative Labs SB X-Fi, Monitor: SyncMaster, Network: Realtek RTL8111/8168 OS: openSUSE project 12.3, Kernel: 3.7.10-1.1-desktop (x86_64), Desktop: KDE, Display Server: X Server 1.13.2, Display Driver: intel 2.20.19, OpenGL: 3.0 Mesa 9.0.2, Compiler: GCC 4.7, File-System: btrfs, Screen Resolution: 1920x1080 Nexuiz 2.5.2 1920 x 1080 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better openSUSE 12.3 . 11.42 |======================================================== OpenArena 0.8.8 1920 x 1080 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better openSUSE 12.3 . 27.80 |======================================================== World of Padman 1.2 1920 x 1080 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better openSUSE 12.3 . 128.83 |======================================================= Urban Terror 4.1 1920 x 1080 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better openSUSE 12.3 . 102.07 |======================================================= Warsow 1.0 1920 x 1080 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better openSUSE 12.3 . 26.83 |========================================================
