Tried it last week. Finally, what I found out is that actually the non-proprietory driver from freedesktop project provide even better performance, so I just gave up ATI proprietory driver. Sabuj Pattanayek wrote:

Something is confusing me. As you see that scores from benchmark 2 are higher than scores from benchmark 1. But in case that I want to save a protein structure as a png file, the rendering in system 1 is nearly two times faster. How can this happen?
