I had some time yesterday and thought I'd do a quick comparision of the
DRI drivers and fglrx drivers for three different cards I have, and I
thought others on this list might be interested in the results. All
tests were conducted on a dual 2.8 xeon, with a gig of RAM. The cards
are a 9600AS with 256 megs of RAM, a 9000Pro with 129 megs of RAM, and
an X700 with 256 megs. After each test with the DRI drivers, I rebooted
and ran the exact same one with the FireGL drivers. The DRI drivers
are from Mesa (and DRM) CVS from Thursday. The FireGL drivers are the
latest available at the moment (I don't remember the version number off
the top of my head). There have been no game specific changes made in
driconf.
Using "timedemo demo1" in doom3 (640x480, "low quality" settings), this
is what I got:
9600 - fgl - 13.4 FPS
9600 - dri - 15 FPS
9000 - fgl - 14 FPS
9000 - dri - 17.6 FPS
X700 - fgl - 13.8 FPS
X700 - dri - 14.7 FPS
Using umark for benchmarking UT2004 (1024x768 with all "low" or "very
low" display settings)... First DM-1on1-Albatross:
9600 - fgl - 11.378239 / 35.393394 / 82.763985 fps - Score = 35.407494
9600 - dri - 5.033368 / 8.846323 / 17.930601 fps - Score = 8.850811
9000 - fgl - 13.003528 / 31.308100 / 93.127403 fps - Score = 31.318676
9000 - dri - 6.515143 / 11.408949 / 22.809250 fps - Score = 11.415204
X700 - fgl - 12.597370 / 43.225315 / 114.483971 fps - Score = 43.069965
X700 - dri - 5.531275 / 9.642255 / 24.157600 fps - Score = 9.647329
DM-Rustorium:
9600 - fgl - 11.864109 / 39.673630 / 107.136818 fps - Score = 39.679264
9600 - dri - .755556 / 9.333500 / 21.820055 fps - Score = 9.336345
9000 - fgl - 13.001156 / 27.800968 / 77.328308 fps - Score = 27.807644
9000 - dri - 7.519938 / 12.948973 / 27.574434 fps - Score = 12.951131
X700 - fgl - 21.063986 / 69.125237 / 155.321548 fps - Score = 65.804871
X700 - dri - 6.243832 / 9.895700 / 32.778217 fps - Score = 9.896439
In retrospect, I should have done ut2004 at 640x480 to get a better
comparison of how it stacks up to doom3.
