Nouveau 2D Still Has Room For Improvement

The QGears2 results were mixed.

At least for most of the 2D results, relative to the NVIDIA binary driver they were doing much better than the current state of the relative 3D performance.

Well, that is it for the quick look at the Nouveau 2D results. You can easily repeat this testing for yourself via the Phoronix Test Suite. Alternatively, to see how your system's 2D performance compares to these results, simply run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1201301-BY-NOUVEAUVS54.
