Title: Radeon HD 4850 Linux Performance ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "Last week we exclusively shared the steps AMD was taking to

make an evolutionary leap in Linux support with same-day support for

their brand-new Radeon HD 4800 series, Linux drivers shipping on the

product CD, some manufacturers showcasing Tux on the product packaging,

and their proprietary Linux driver reaching a feature parity with their

Windows driver. We had also shared that the Radeon HD 4850 works with

open-source xf86-video-ati driver since day one. Now that we have had

time to complete testing of the Radeon HD 4850, today we are sharing the

first Linux results from this brand-new ATI graphics processor. Before

you think the Windows and Linux performance is equal for the Radeon HD

4800 series, this isn't the case, at least not yet."
