Returning to the plethora of ioquake3-powered games (these are the era of games that tend to actually work bug-free on Mesa Linux drivers), the performance is much better than with Warsow, as expected.

At 1920 x 1080, the Intel Core i5 2500K remains well ahead of the Radeon HD 4550/5450 graphics cards on their Gallium3D driver and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 on the Nouveau driver. The performance was a near match to the Radeon HD 4650/4830 graphics cards on Gallium3D.
