if you are particularly referring to opencl, you may be quite off base re:
"Good performance" and "Acceptable performance".  iiuc, the "open" drivers
do not have good/acceptable performance, especially re: opencl.

the NVIDIA drivers are more or less required for higher quality video
performance.  I cannot testify to performance with AMD prop drivers, I
refuse to use unless forced due to their support or lack of support.

I do have an i7 with intel card which has acceptable performance but do
not use opencl.
