To be quite frank, the numbers speak quite clearly for
themselves when it comes to the performance delta between the ATI
Windows and Linux drivers. Even for the Linux drivers being based upon
the ATI Windows Catalyst suite, the frame-rate performance under Linux
is one of the critical areas for improvement in this graphics battle.
ATI certainly has a long way to go here. Some of the playtests scored less than half of the FPS Windows was delivering. NVIDIA is going to stay the Linux favorite for a while.
