AMD Radeon: Windows Catalyst vs. Linux Gallium3D vs. Linux Catalyst

These are nice results. Last time I saw benchmarks like these, the radeon drivers weren't worth using and linux catalyst was behind windows in nearly every single test by a noteworthy margin. Now, the FOSS drivers are barely behind (at least for R600) and catalyst finally (overall) matches the speed in Windows.
Does anybody know if the catalyst game profiles for micro-optimizations are transferred to linux's catalyst? If not, that could explain why the linux catalyst falls behind in a few cases.

So that bench should not matter. (And it really do not matter at all at anything...)

AFAIK the triangle test measures how quickly a large number triangles can be fed from CPU to GPU through the driver, but tessellation generates its "large number of triangles" on chip using the hardware graphics pipeline, so there probably won't be a strong correlation between the two.
There's always a weak correlation, of course, but that usually just means "if nobody had time to optimize A they probably didn't have time to optimize B either"Test signature

Here is *MY* Review...
MoBo:
ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+
RAM:
G.Skill 8GB @ 2133MHz
APU:
A6-5400K
Turbo OFF
APM OFF
Cool'n'Quiet OFF
iGPU OC to 800MHz
Game:
Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars
Graphics settings same to all tests
Game always played in native mode and fullscreen in all OS....so , no WINE in Linux.
WindowsXP + latest Catalyst:
VERY High frame (peaks up to 200FPS ingame , NEVER goes bellow 120 FPS) , EVERYTHING very smooth , NO graphical glitchs
Windows7 + latest Catalyst:
Tops at 60FPS (older drivers peak up to 120FPS ingame and) goes down to 20 FPS , LOTs of stuttering in special when straffing, NO graphical glitchs
Windows8 + latest Catalyst:
Same as W7, but even lower frame rates
Windows8.1 + latest Catalyst:
Same as W8, but even lower frame rates
XUBUNTU 14.04 LTS + latest Catalyst:
Very decent frame rates (peaks more than 120 FPS easy, frame rate VERY consistent) VERY SMOOTH but LOTS of graphical glitches, so many that *i* don't want to play.
XUBUNTU 14.04 LTS stock using OSS RADEON:
I hear the music when game is launched....and..."black screen of death"...nothing more than the music...only way to get out is using the REISUB trick.
Didn't try WINE and even less WINE + RADEON + ET:QW
PS: Linux tests done with XUBUNTU, latest build of UBUNTU doesn't boot in my rig and i only get a black screen ....4 days ago build, booted.Last edited by AJSB; 27 March 2014, 11:53 AM.

At the moment you have two columns with the colors for each graphics card and the average/peak/low information is displayed right above the graph. I would recommend having one row of columns and putting the information next to teach column like so (but make the avg/peak/low horizontal):
