Phoronix: NVIDIA & ATI GTK Benchmarks

Since publishing our Avivo versus fglrx driver GtkPerf benchmarks that compared the GTK performance between the community open-source driver and ATI's official driver, we have received a number of requests for more of these 2D benchmarks with different graphics cards and different drivers. While this is not one of our formal articles, we have completed a few more GtkPerf tests with NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards to see how the GTK performance stacks up.

nice, thank you a lot for this benchmark! is anyone doing this with the open source intel driver? can't wait to some results! i'm happy that the open source ati driver is faster than the blob, it gives hope that we can get rid of ati sometimes!
