The Open-Source Linux Graphics Card Showdown

[MasterCATZ]

Well I guess this almost Finalizes my next build sorry AMD looks like I am going with intel .. that on-board GPU does what I need ( VA API)
and runs doom3 as a bonus to boot
which means any game I would play .. should work ( UT2004 ect )

but I will still wait for AMD A10-5800K release .. but it doesn't look good for AMD with their driver support

I hope their will be another good linux test i7-3770K vs A10-5800K

looking for lowest power with full support as HTPC

and something that can do my media encoding

Nice test, but I think it's near impossible to tell which curve corresponds to which graphics card in those graphs. The colors are way too similar.

If you move the mouse over any line, it shows which card it corresponds to. If you have fairly modern browser and get SVG served, of course.

Needing 766 Watt in idle mode

Obligatory post making fun of some random typo in the article that will never be corrected:

Holy thermo-nuclear GPU Batman!! The Radeon HD 4670 idles at 766 Watts??? Surely it must produce a truckload of heat

I stumble over this typo and found your report in the forum.
Which power supply can handle such an idle power?
The cooling system must be hot as a hair-dryer as loud as a plane.
