Benchmarks of the Nouveau Gallium3D stack in Mesa. Comparing the NVIDIA GeForce performance between Mesa 7.11 and Mesa 8.0-devel of the different Nouveau NVC0 Fermi, NV50, etc open-source drivers with several different graphics cards. Testing for a future article by Michael Larabel of Phoronix.com for looking at Mesa 8.0 OpenGL performance.

This is a benchmark of Nexuiz, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game uses the DarkPlaces engine, which is a largely modified version of the Quake engine with extra features such as High Dynamic Range rendering and OpenGL 2.0 shaders. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a test of OpenArena, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game is based upon ioquake3, which in turn uses the GPL version of id Software's Quake 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
