OK, i went on doing a self test benchmark of my GPU HD7750 2GB DDR3 with
and get the score, mostly for comparison on 3D rendering.
From what i know for MESA drivers the 3D is being handled from software rather than hardware. That means 3D is mainly being handled from CPU. For GPU handling is better to use the proprietary drivers.
But the current MESA drivers i have installed support OpenGL 4.3 and from Monday i think they will get an update supporting Vulkan drivers (my GPU is compatible).
The proprietary drivers are the version Crimson Edition 15.12 from 12/18/2015 and are not being updated any more.
What do you think is better for 3D? Don't tell me to download the proprietary and run the benchamark once more because installation is the a pain in the ...
ps1. For Nvidia GPU it seems that they get higher scores with proprietary than MESA ones.
ps2. Also this can be an easy guide for self testing different GPU models "power" from the user it self. You can always install a Linux OS (free software) as dual boot on your Windows PC or run it as virtual machine. You test your current GPU model, you plug the new one, test and compare result (be sure to compare with the same set of drivers both GPU models).
A user with Nvidia proprietary drivers and GPU model GeForce GTX TITAN Black/PCIe/SSE2 got a score of 15943 (compared to mine 2067...) but that was back in 2014, and i have no idea if MESA drivers have surpass proprietary in 3D.
