Originally posted by Qaridariumi dropped the catalyst for linux gaming the fglrx linux catalyst burn my mmr points in HON.
the windows clind in wine runs faster on the radeon opensource driver than the native linux clind run on the catalyst.
AMD claim that the catalyst is "faster" the "benchmarks" on phoronix claim the same but if you count mouse-input and keyboard input the catalyst do have some nasty input-lag bugs in hon this makes the driver complete useless!
i get the fastest mouse and keyboard input with the radeon driver !
gaming and hardcore gaming is not about fucking FRAMES PER SECOND (FPS)! harcore gaming is about mouse/keyboard-input-latency with visual response!
and everytime i wana drop an intem to another players hero the game input lag and the graphik lag!
you will never get this in a "benchmark" because in a "benchmark" there is no mouse/keyboard input.

It could be possible that some settings are just completely ignored by oss drivers. I saw speed issues with Intel onboard as well, i had to disable AA to get good framerates (AA is not that critical with high res, AF you see more). I would begin with less demanding settings first, no forced vsync/aa in amdcccle, just in app. Comparing oss against binary drivers is just like comparing apples and oranges.
