Radeon Gallium3D Performance Gets Close To Catalyst On Ubuntu 14.04

It's a bit off-topic.
If today, I want to get a computer and use Open Source video drivers, what would be my best bet?
I need flawless desktop experience (dual screen, KMS, etc...) and light gaming. I'm coding most of the time, but I may fire steam once in a while.
I'm used to intel drivers, which work great. Would HD5200 be any good?
I like the Nvidia 750 Ti, is there any chance that nouveau will make use of its potential in a relatively close future?
AMD Radeon seems the way to go to get the best performances with OS drivers yet, but how is "desktop" support?
Thanks.

I've never seen a benchmark that made nvidia cards look good -- they all look disappointing to me in comparison to windows drivers. There's extremely uneven levels of performance with different models -- most of which run much slower than they should be.
loooooooooooooooooool

Catalyst 14.1 isn't even able to play videos without crashing X. Setting render method to opengl helps but this doesn't rise the quality.Originally posted by pandev92 View PostCatalyst have serious lag after 30 hours of use..., radeon r600 can't play flash with vdpau , is totally broken, and I have random freeze with google chrome if I use gpu aceleration.

Personally i don't want to support Intel. We need a vital market - we need AMD.

Nice article comparing AMD Linux OSS driver's performance to their Catalyst drivers. I've been waiting for an article like this so that I could shit up a forum talking about Nvidia and Windows and Flash acceleration and shit.
Gentlemen, please.

With the open-source graphics driver stack found in the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Mesa 10.1 + Linux 3.13), the performance of the community-developed Radeon Gallium3D driver is now close to that of the official AMD Catalyst driver for recent generations of Radeon graphics cards. In several OpenGL tests the "RadeonSI" driver can even run 80% the speed of AMD's official Catalyst Linux driver.

The only missing piece of the puzzle is OpenCL support, does anyone know how that is doing?
