I can't give precise measurements just anecdotal figures from games.... specifically tribes 2.
Under w2k standing at a particular part of a map looking directly at a object in the distance I was getting 125ish fps. After installing RH7.2 on the same box I was getting 118ish at that exact point. After getting SGL installed, I was hitting 157 fps at the same point. This is with the 2.4.17 kernel and the preemptive patch( which SGL makes simple to install).
Tribes 2 is highly CPU bound... on most machines changing resolution doesn't affect fps. On my machine now the frame rate is related to resolution in a way that is similar to CPU, which leads me to think I'm now video card bottlenecked.

'in a way that is similar to CPU' should read 'In a way that is similar to other games like q3'
