Intel i965 Gallium3D Mesa Performance Benchmarking the experimental Intel i965 Gallium3D driver compared to the i965 classic Mesa DRi driver. Benchmarking from an Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor with Intel HD 4000 graphics. OpenGL benchmarking from Ubuntu 13.04. Testing by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com. i965 Gallium3D: Processor: Intel Core i7-3517UE @ 2.10GHz (4 Cores), Motherboard: CompuLab Intense-PC, Chipset: Intel 3rd Gen Core DRAM, Memory: 8192MB, Disk: 500GB Hitachi HCC54755, Graphics: Intel 3rd Gen Core, Audio: Realtek ALC888, Monitor: Acer P243W, Network: Intel 82579LM Gigabit Connection + Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n OS: Ubuntu 13.04, Kernel: 3.9.0-999-generic (x86_64), Desktop: Unity 6.6.0, Display Server: X Server 1.13.3, Display Driver: intel 2.21.5, OpenGL: 2.1 Mesa 9.2.0 (git-10004a0) Gallium 0.4, Compiler: GCC 4.7 + LLVM 3.2, File-System: ext4, Screen Resolution: 1920x1200 i965 Classic Mesa: Processor: Intel Core i7-3517UE @ 2.10GHz (4 Cores), Motherboard: CompuLab Intense-PC, Chipset: Intel 3rd Gen Core DRAM, Memory: 8192MB, Disk: 500GB Hitachi HCC54755, Graphics: Intel 3rd Gen Core, Audio: Realtek ALC888, Monitor: Acer P243W, Network: Intel 82579LM Gigabit Connection + Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n OS: Ubuntu 13.04, Kernel: 3.9.0-999-generic (x86_64), Desktop: Unity 6.6.0, Display Server: X Server 1.13.3, Display Driver: intel 2.21.5, OpenGL: 3.0 Mesa 9.2.0 (git-10004a0), Compiler: GCC 4.7 + LLVM 3.2, File-System: ext4, Screen Resolution: 1920x1200 Nexuiz 2.5.2 Resolution: 1280 x 1024 - HDR: Yes - Sound: Off Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 10.59 |================= i965 Classic Mesa . 31.48 |==================================================== Nexuiz 2.5.2 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 - HDR: Yes - Sound: Off Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 15.97 |===================================== i965 Classic Mesa . 22.34 |==================================================== OpenArena 0.8.5 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 65.00 |======================== i965 Classic Mesa . 138.47 |=================================================== OpenArena 0.8.8 Resolution: 800 x 600 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 46.87 |======================== i965 Classic Mesa . 100.87 |=================================================== OpenArena 0.8.8 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 18.27 |=================================== i965 Classic Mesa . 27.10 |==================================================== World of Padman 1.2 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 56.57 |====================== i965 Classic Mesa . 131.83 |=================================================== Reaction Quake 3 1.0 Beta Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 32.60 |=========================== i965 Classic Mesa . 62.83 |==================================================== Reaction Quake 3 1.0 Beta Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 32.67 |=========================== i965 Classic Mesa . 62.87 |==================================================== Urban Terror 4.1 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 38.90 |============================ i965 Classic Mesa . 70.98 |==================================================== Warsow 1.0 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 21.50 |============================== i965 Classic Mesa . 37.07 |==================================================== Xonotic 0.6 Resolution: 1024 x 768 - Effects Quality: Low Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 77.97 |=============================== i965 Classic Mesa . 128.46 |=================================================== Xonotic 0.6 Resolution: 1024 x 768 - Effects Quality: High Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 34.24 |======================= i965 Classic Mesa . 77.73 |==================================================== Xonotic 0.6 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 - Effects Quality: Low Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 45.19 |=========================== i965 Classic Mesa . 86.31 |==================================================== Xonotic 0.6 Resolution: 1920 x 1200 - Effects Quality: High Frames Per Second > Higher Is Better i965 Gallium3D .... 21.41 |============================ i965 Classic Mesa . 39.89 |====================================================
