Testing for this interesting low-end / older graphics comparison happened from Xubuntu 14.04 x86_64 while upgrading to the Linux 3.14 Git kernel and Mesa 10.2.0-devel along with the latest Git DDX drivers as packaged in the xorg-edgers PPA.

All benchmarking for this article was handled in a fully automated and repeatable fashion using the open-source Phoronix Test Suite software. If you wish to see how your own system compares to these 11 graphics adapters on Linux with open-source graphics drivers, fire up the Phoronix Test Suite on the Linux distribution of your choice and then simply run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1402254-PL-COMPARE3627 for carrying out the test automation from downloading and setup to execution and result analysis.
