Ubuntu 12.04 AMD Radeon Gallium3D Catalyst Benchmarking of AMD Catalyst 12.3 Linux driver on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS compared to the stock Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Radeon Galliun3D stack, Git from 2012-04-19 of Mesa 8.1-devel, Linux 3.4 kernel, xf86-video-ati, and libdrm. Also then the Git stack with Radeon PCI Express 2.0 (PCI-E 2.0) support and ColorTiling / ColorTiling 2D enabled. Swap buffers wait was disabled throughout. Testing by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com with AMD soon canning the R600 and R700 series Catalyst Linux driver support. Radeon HD 4770 was used as a normal mid-range graphics card.
