Benchmarks of several different AMD Radeon graphics cards on Ubuntu 13.04 when using Linux 3.8 kernel, Mesa 9.2-devel Git, enabling the R600 Gallium3D LLVM shader compiler with LLVM 3.3 SVN code from weekend of late February, and disabling swap buffers wait in the Radeon DDX. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article showing quick Radeon GPU comparison in this open-source Linux driver state.

This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Prey retail game from 3D Realms. This test requires a valid game key and game files found on the retail CD/DVD. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a benchmark of Nexuiz, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game uses the DarkPlaces engine, which is a largely modified version of the Quake engine with extra features such as High Dynamic Range rendering and OpenGL 2.0 shaders. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
ETXreaL is a new engine that's paired with the original id Software Enemy Territory game assets. The improved open-source engine offers 64-bit support, an OpenGL 3.2 renderer, OpenGL VBO (vertex buffer object) changes, true 64-bit HDR lighting, deferred shading, real-time sun lights, relief mapping, and many other visual features not found in the original id Tech 3 engine with Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
