The R600g performance on the two HD 6000 series parts appeared unchanged by moving to Mesa 11.0 and DRM-Next, which isn't too much of a surprise considering this driver is under only light development these days and effectively in maintenance mode with the employed AMD developers being busy enough with RadeonSI. However, with RadeonSI, the performance for this GL2 OpenArena game did regress for both the R9 290 and R7 370 with the newer code.

The Tesseract open-source game saw its performance drop too for all graphics cards except for the Radeon R7 370.

The Unigine Tropics performance was largely unchanged.
