NVIDIA GeForce Linux graphics card benchmarking with the GeForce 8500GT, 8600GTS, 8800GT, 9500GT, 9600GSO, 9800GT, 9800GTX, GT 220, GT 240, GTX 460, and GTX 550 Ti graphics cards. Benchmarking under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64 with the proprietary NVIDIA 295.33 Linux driver and compared to the open-source Nouveau Gallium3D Linux graphics driver. Nouveau testing was with the latest Linux 3.4 kernel and Mesa 8.1-devel from Git as of early April 2012. This benchmarking is by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
