Once again Fedora Core 6 was used for testing and the benchmarks consisted of Enemy Territory and Quake 4. For comparing the 8.33.6 display drivers we had also compared them against last month's fglrx 8.32.5 driver when using an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 128MB. On the following pages are our driver benchmarks and concluding thoughts.
