AMD Catalyst vs. Radeon Gallium3D On Linux 3.1

The VDrift racing game results remain mixed, which is due to Mesa/Gallium3D not handling some of the shaders correctly and other incorrect renderings.

@Michael and others: How's the stability with the OSS radeon drivers recently? I'm asking because I'm using Fedora 15 and get random system hangs with my 5870 since the update to kernel 2.6.38.7 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712533) which sucks HARD. Don't have any stability problems on my Samsung N140 netbook...

I run all my cards in low (plenty for desktop performance) and switch to high performance only for games.

Also in this case CPU/RAM/power consumption would be more important than raw performance.

A new drm is not going to change 3D performance much. For 3D, the drm just takes the command buffer from the 3D driver and feeds it to the hw; not a lot has changed in that regard.

It would be interesting to see what the results would look like benchmarking the git head of mesa form the release dates of 2.6.39 3.0 & 3.1
As improvements happen in tandem to drm and mesa it would give a fairer picture of the improvements in the 3D stack

VDrift benchmarks are meaningless
