S3 Linux Driver Outperforms Its Windows Twin In Nexuiz

Posted by timothy on from the battle-of-the-benchmarks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Chrome Center has done some benchmarks with the proprietary S3 Chrome 400/500 Driver on Linux and Windows. They compared Nexuiz frame rates on a Phenom II system with a S3 430 GT — the surprising result: The Linux driver outperforms its Windows equivalent, offering frame rates about twice as high on average. The question now: Is the Linux driver that good or the Windows driver that bad?"

    These statistics are useless. You can't just test one game and draw your conclusions to be that it's the driver.

    At least test with more then one game you cherry picked because it gives faster speeds. That's the kind of shit Microsoft does.

    I hope this author gets banned from slashdot because I fucking hate these kind of tactics.
