Nouveau For A $10 NVIDIA Graphics Card?
Xonotic, and the rest of the tests are just under the binary blobs due to Nouveau Gallium3D issues with the remainder of these OpenGL tests. The GeForce 9600GSO performance with the NVIDIA driver for Xonotic at the HD resolution was a mere 20 FPS, which is in line with the GeForce GT 220 and Radeon HD 5450.
When running Unigine Tropics at 1920 x 1080, the XFX GeForce 9600GSO 512MB graphics card was averaging just about 13 FPS, which put it ahead of the 9500GT, GT 220, HD 4550, HD 5450, and HD 6570. The GeForce 9800GT was nearly three times faster than the 9600GSO.
