Title: AMD Radeon HD 4250 880G On Linux ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "Back in May we looked at the AMD Radeon HD 4290 integrated

graphics Linux performance of the 890GX motherboard chipset found on the

MSI 890GXM-G65 and many other motherboards. This ATI Radeon 4290 (890GX)

wasn't the most compelling integrated graphics processor we found with

its OpenGL performance using the proprietary Catalyst driver being

significantly lower than even the cheapest PCI Express graphics cards.

X-Video Bitstream Acceleration, the method whereby AMD exposes their

UVD2 engine capabilities on Linux, was also rather useless (and to this

day still is the case) that makes this an ineffective Linux Home Theater

PC too. Since the launch of the 890GX chipset, AMD rolled out the 880G

chipset as a less-expensive solution for motherboard vendors and offers

a stripped-down graphics processor of what is found in the 890GX and is

branded as the ATI Radeon HD 4250. Today we have a few benchmarks of the

Radeon HD 4250 (880G) under Linux for your viewing pleasure."
