    This should be useful, at least if people use it. Look at chromium's GPU page and at how many workarounds are still enabled for fglrx because it relies solely on the renderer string showing AMD.

None of those are modern or haven't been fixed, and they can affect performance significantly. If you're on a recent nvidia driver, give it a shot, too.
