Summary: "While NVIDIA's binary driver is much faster and better than

AMD's Catalyst, on the open-source driver side is where AMD has been

shining. While their RadeonSI Gallium3D driver for Radeon HD 7000 series

GPUs and newer is not nearly as well off as their pre-HD 7000 series

(R600g) Gallium3D driver, they are making progress. In this article are

benchmarks showing the "out of the box" performance on Ubuntu 13.10 with

the modern open-source driver, benchmarks with the latest kernel and

Mesa and LLVM, and then the AMD Catalyst driver. A range of modern

Radeon HD 7000 and R9 graphics processors were used for this open-source

versus closed-source driver testing."
