There are some benchmarks at Phoronix. Overall, the radeon driver |

offers about 20% of fglrx. There are some rare exceptions where the |

open driver can reach fglrx performance. |

I still prefer the open driver on radeon hardware though; fglrx is too |
| 13 |
buggy (contrary to the NVidia driver.) |
