Ubuntu 13.04 - Mesa 9.2-devel - Linux 3.8 - Radeon GPUs 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.
