Once again continuing to benchmark these latest drivers we had compared them against last month's 8.26.18 version. The basis for our testing system was a Lenovo ThinkPad T60. This notebook comes equipped with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 128MB and Intel Core Duo processor. We had used the new Fedora Core packaging scripts throughout testing. Simply run the installer with --buildpkg Fedora/FC5, followed by installing the RPMs. Continuing in our usual array of gaming tests Enemy Territory, Doom 3, and Quake 4 were used.
