Intel GMA integrated v Radeon discrete graphics
Intel GMA integrated v Radeon discrete graphics
I will soon be purchasing a new laptop to run Linux.
I would like to get some feedback about performance
of Intel GMA v Radeon video performance from anyone
using any Linux distro.
My current box is a Lenovo R61e with i965 chip using
the latest Slackware X drivers; viz: xorg-server-1.6.3,
xf86-video-intel-2.8.0, mesa-7.5, glew. It performs
reasonably well. That ever-so-questionable (glx)gears
produces circa 500 fps in the native window.
But, all this is really independent of hardware & distro.
So, I'd like some responses from various users about
their recent experiences.
Things to consider
Reliability & Stability
Suspend to ram/disk resume reliability
That (glx)gears fps result.
Software support, updates from Intel, Radeon(AMD)
