Linux Gaming on Fire this July


While the mesa work is totally great, it probably should be noted that GL4.x support is currently not available in any released version and even in git only on a quite limited selection of hardware. Also at least a lot of NVidia cards are significantly slower with nouveau than the blob (mostly depending on the quality of reclocking support). That said I've been using nouveau for quite some time (on a non 4.x enabled GT216) without major problems for a wide range of (mostly older) games. It also should be noted that it is quite possible that a particular game will work better in wine than the native port. It may be worth to try both.
