Mesa 8.1-devel Nouveau Gallium3D NVIDIA

Benchmarking of Nouveau Gallium3D open-source NVIDIA graphics driver comparing the performance of several NVIDIA graphics cards from different GeForce GPU generations. Benchmarking to compare Mesa 8.0.4 Git and Mesa 8.1-devel Git but also with updated libdrm and xf86-video-nouveau X.Org driver in between due to the libdrm breakage. Using Git from ubuntu Linux. Benchmarking for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel.
