Hey,
My card is an ATI Radeon HD 5670 Redwood
I have always used the binary ATI driver but now that I want to use gnome shell with Opensuse 12.1 (does catalyst 11.11 work with shell?), I think I may have to use the open source driver. My main questions are:
Will I be able to get decent performance on some native and Wine games I have such as Oilrush, Hereos of Newerth, Enemy Territory Quake Wars, Trine, Guild Wars (wine) ect.
I have heard the open source driver has issues with heating and power consumption, how much truth is there to this? Would I be better off waiting for Catalyst 11.12?
