New Nouveau Linux libdrm Benchmarking GeForce
Testing out the new Nouveau libdrm code by comparing NVIDIA 295.40 binary Linux graphics driver, the stock Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Nouveau stack (Linux 3.2 + Mesa 8.0), Git (Mesa, xf86-video-nouveau, libdrm) from just before the libdrm merge, and then the latest Git as of evening of 13 April 2012. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com. This is just some quick open-source Linux benchmarking from a NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M discrete graphics processor found on a Lenovo ThinkPad notebook with Core i7 CPU from Intel. More tests of Nouveau driver will be forthcoming by Michael Larabel.
