There is not any real performance change for Doom 3 with the five NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers that were tested, but this is not much of a surprise with this older id Tech 4 Linux-native game not being demanding at all on modern hardware/drivers.

With the 302 Linux drivers, there is a drop in performance for Lightsmark, but this is not a really pressing concern since the OpenGL lighting benchmark already runs at several hundred frames per second.

No change with the CPU-bound OpenArena.
