AMD Fusion On Gallium3D Leaves A Lot To Be Desired

When starting with ETXReaL, which is the heavily modified version of the id Tech 3 engine that enhances the image rendering quality for Enemy Territory, the Catalyst driver destroys the open-source Gallium3D performance. Using AMD's notorious binary blob resulted in 13x better performance.

The Lightsmark OpenGL lighting performance was nearly 10x faster on the Catalyst driver than Radeon Gallium3D for the A8-3870K.

When running Nexuiz at a variety of resolutions from 800 x 600 through 1920 x 1080, the Catalyst driver was always at least twice as fast.
