Title: Power Management: ATI Catalyst vs. Open-Source ATI Driver ( -at -) Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=13566
Summary: "Yesterday we broke the news that AMD will stop supporting the
R300-500 GPUs in the Catalyst driver. There have been well over one
hundred posts in the Phoronix Forums from ATI customers upset with this
decision, but fortunately, there is first-rate open-source support
available. AMD continues to release documentation and code while the
X.Org development community has been hard at work on the xf86-video-ati
and xf86-video-radeonhd drivers along with Mesa and Gallium3D
components. The main problem though is the open-source stack -- at this
time -- providing poor gaming performance, but power management can also
be a problem. In yesterday's article we provided some R500 comparative
2D and OpenGL benchmarks, but in this article are some power management
results comparing the Catalyst 9.2 driver to the xf86-video-ati driver."
