2014 Catalyst Linux Graphics Benchmarks Year-In-Review

It seems as if they cannot get any additional performance out of Catalyst. Meanwhile, the open source Gallium3D drivers are catching up quickly.

They already beat Catalyst to death unless you have some recent GCN crap.

They probably don't find the cause of the bottleneck. It's not that Catalyst is inefficient, it's just that it usually never uses 100% of the GPU. More like 50%, if at all. Something is just wrong.

Great Job AMD!

Seems like AMD stopped caring about their Radeon HD series cards.

Very 'Nice' big 14.12 update, I see.
