AMD FirePro With Open-Source Drivers What happens if you use open-source AMD drivers with Gallium3D on open-source drivers? This is a relative comparison of several AMD FirePro ASICs to the closed-source Catalyst driver to see how the performance differs between open and closed drivers for workstation FirePro and consumer Radeon hardware.
