Mesa Radeon HD 4870 Linux Performance Comparison Benchmarks of Mesa 7.9.2 R600c DRI driver through Mesa 8.1-devel R600g Gallium3D benchmarks when comparing Mesa releases for a Radeon HD 4870 (RV770) graphics card. The rest of the stack was maintained the same in the latest shape... Looking at the Mesa performance over time for open-source AMD Radeon driver performance for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel.
