Linux 3.5 Can Massively Boost AMD Radeon Graphics Performance
The Radeon HD 5750, HD 6770, and HD 6870 graphics cards were all much faster with Nexuiz on the Linux 3.5 kernel than either the Linux 3.2 or Linux 3.4 kernels.
Sans the HD 5830 and HD 6450, even with the old and not-demanding OpenArena 0.8.5, the frame-rates went up on the Linux 3.5 kernel. The AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics card OpenGL frame-rate went up by 33% from the kernel upgrade.
