HD 4870 Gallium3D Mesa 8.1 Benchmarking a ATI Radeon HD 4870 (RV770 GPU) graphics card on Mesa 8.1-devel, 8.0, 7.11, and 7.10 branches of Mesa Git. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel. Swap buffers wait was disabled but besides that no other options set (e.g. 2D color tiling).
