Doom 3 is just demo1 and Quake 4 and ET:QW demos will be out there with the Phoronix Test Suite.

I'm glad to see this kind of test. I'm on the virge of buying a new graphics card and I'm doubting between the nVidia 9600GT and the AMD HD 3850 (with 512MB). Their linux performance plays a role for me, but more the evolution in the drivers with these cards. I'm planning on fully switching to a Linux desktop when a program I use daily, Lotus Domino designer, is finally natively supported under Linux which will be by the end of this year. When I look at this test I see ATI/AMD rapidly catching up with nVidia on their drivers and with AMDs opensource strategy we might have a good open source driver soon. So the best card between these two in 9 months time might actually be the HD 3850. Do you guys agree or am I seeing things completely wrong here?
