Antwort: Trisquel 5.5 - Gaming benchmarks and some conclusions

Hi all,

I find it interesting that no-one replied to my initial mail/posting. Anyway,
seems not to be much interest in the general gaming performance of Trisquel
with free games on free drivers. The latest Phoronix benchmarks confirmed my
estimation that even a dog old card like my GF9800GT can cope with the Ivy
bridge motherboards. For me this is good news since performance-wise there is
an alternative to Intel-based systems by buying cheaper AMD multicore systems
with a dedicated NVidia card and still have a good user experience.

@Chris: If it helps I can re-run a set of benchmarks with free games on my
E350-based system with a GeForce 9500GT. I guess the results are comparable
with the card you sell. My system has a fairly slow dual core though
(2x1.6GHz) which would slow down the results for games being CPU-limited. I
do not know what you think but I guess a few benchmark values combined with
links to the corresponding games would be very nice on your website.
Something like: Sucessfully tested with Red Eclipse (Runs at XX FPS with
system specs provided) and a small link to the projekts homepage.

If knowone has further interest in any benchmark values I have fulfilled my
mission to test the Noveau performance on the latest linux-libre kernel.
dynebolic will has good 3D acceleration then as well :)

Have a nice weekend,
Holger
