Linux 3D AGP GPU Roundup: More Cutting Edge Penguin Performance

Racer
Our graphics coverage wouldn't be entirely complete without the de facto OpenGL Linux game. Note that we did not install Racer from YAST. When we installed from YAST, there was a technical issue that we ran into with the FrameGetter utility on ATI cards. We have not isolated that cause yet.There isn't a whole lot of science behind our Racer benchmark. We basically floor the car on a racetrack and let it hit a wall at full speed. We do not seem to have any troubles replicating this test, but it isn't exactly an elegant timedemo. You can view our CSV of the graph below here.
Let us take a closer look between some evenly matched cards. You'll see that the FPS rev up until the car hits the wall and then generates a lot of atmospheric textures (smoke).
Our cards do not vary wildly in FPS like in some of our other benchmarks. The point at which the card hits the wall should seem pretty obvious from the graph. We were interested in how similarly the cards performed during this event, even though this was just a small cross-section of the benchmark.

Yep, the SuSE 9.2 folder is really fresh and of course probably will work ok when 9.2 comes out.What do you mean when you say SuSE is a Red Hat derivative? Is that because of RPM?
Did SATA work on SuSE 9.1 for the nforce3 board?
Guess the only thing I can say is I run a Radeon 9200 with the built in drivers in SuSE 9.1 with no problem, but haven't tested a game with it yet...
What sucks in Linux? Trying to change those wonderful settings for your x86config to use those spiffy AA/AF settings. Gettings real games to work. I wonder if SuSE will even use the newer xfree86 version, or what they will switch to as well.
Sigh, need to keep good old win2k for such gaming purposes...

Nice article, but"we want to look at some common graphics intensive applications for Linux and determine how well they run, particularly in relation to their Windows counterparts."
where exactly is this windows/linux comparison. I only found a couple of words on the Wine section (and wine has it's own overhead, so that's not entirely fair comparison...)
