The games here are known to be solid and use the same back-ends (for the most part) on both Linux and Windows, and therefore are better for benchmarking the driver. Benchmarking a game under Wine would be a huge joke as the fact that it is not native would put overhead on Linux simply because it is not being ran natively. This is not about showing what games you can run on your Intel cards, but rather the state of the drivers.

It doesnt have enough benchmarks to really show the state of the drivers. It doesnt show how it performs with wine. It doesnt show how it performs with Unigine engine. It doesnt show how it performs with any steam game.
All it shows is on the benchmarks run the linux Intel driver is sometimes slower than the windows Intel driver. But that isnt what the article title says. That is not what the conclusion says.

Micheal's tests shows that when the default KDE is used, it under-performs compared to the other desktops with their defaults.Michael Larabel

Once I did this, I really noticed a difference.

Here I tested 3 cards with all Killing Floor renderes on Highest. Pretty interesting I would say...
I recorded some simple demos (could add others or replace em if needed) and made a little script to select em. It always uses the default res (can only parse 1 monitor) and writes that into the default config. In the comments you see what to change if you want to use your standard settings instead. I used 1 level with nvidia rendering bugs, 1 normal speed one, 2 with speed problems.
Of course I used KDE 4.8 with Kanotix.
