Intel Linux Driver Almost Neck-And-Neck With Windows 8.1

Wow, was not expecting them to be that good.

Has there been any test using Source games? Aka "can I play dota2/tf2" with Intel integrated graphics yet?

I tried to play dota 2 on a Laptop with an Intel HD4000 about 2 months ago. It was unplayable on Linux, while on Windows it works fine on low settings.
However, I don't know if the HD4000 for the desktop is better than the laptop version.

Phoronix: Intel Linux Driver Almost Neck-And-Neck With Windows 8.1

Intel released a big Windows graphics driver update that for Haswell hardware now provides OpenGL 4.2 support -- while the Intel Linux driver just hit the milestone of OpenGL 3.3 support. To see how the latest Windows and Linux Intel graphics drivers compare, I ran some new benchmarks on Windows 8.1 against Ubuntu 13.10 to see how the performance pans out in various OpenGL game benchmarks and other graphics workloads.
