I decided I didn't have anything better to do at the moment, so I benchmarked my Radeon HD 7950 on both Catalyst and the latest Gallium3D/Mesa stack with Kernel 3.14.4 on KDE 4.13, with compositing disabled, using QGears2. Results are sorted fastest to slowest:
With performance governor:
Gallium3D/Mesa Git + Kernel 3.14.4 - OpenGL
Text = 458.68 FPS
Gears = 420.62 FPS
Image Scaling = 4114.69
Catalyst 14.4v2 + Kernel 3.14.4 - OpenGL
Text = 449.80
Gears = 412.27 FPS
Image Scaling = 4230.50 FPS
Gallium3D/Mesa Git + Kernel 3.14.4 - XRender
Text = 148.67 FPS
Gears = 131.78 FPS
Image Scaling = 881.90 FPS
Catalyst 14.4v2 + Kernel 3.14.4 - XRender
Text = 144.92 FPS
Gears = 130.23 FPS
Image Scaling = 823.08 FPS
Catalyst 14.4v2 + Kernel 3.14.4 - OpenGL
Text = 429.46 FPS
Gears = 396.20 FPS
Image Scaling = 3562.73 FPS
Gallium3D/Mesa Git + Kernel 3.14.4 - OpenGL
Text = 403.97 FPS
Gears = 366.57 FPS
Image Scaling = 2099.33 FPS
Catalyst 14.4v2 + Kernel 3.14.4 - XRender
Text = 141.54 FPS
Gears = 125.73 FPS
Image Scaling = 636.55 FPS
Gallium3D/Mesa Git + Kernel 3.14.4 - XRender
Text = 138.88 FPS
Gears = 122.50 FPS
Image Scaling = 620.69 FPS

I'm glad 2D is going away. These benchmarks just show how AMD probably invested quite a bit of effort into 2d over 3d and that doesn't really matter anymore.
Once we are all on Wayland anyway, and all the GPU drivers are using GLAMOR in the xwayland DDX for just backwards compatibility (at least for the sane foss drivers, heres hoping Catalyst is just left behind entirely and Nvidia can suffer a bit providing their own xwayland driver layer) and egl / opengl for everything in the native desktops, there won't even be any 2D anymore.

Originally posted by molecule-eye View PostFirefox SMOOTH scrolling performance is butter with Gallium and MUCH slower using Catalyst 14.4. That's weird given these benchmarks. I wonder if it's a problem particular to Firefox. Anyone else seeing this?
From my experience 2d performance significantly drops for Catalyst + Compositor.
