Under load? I've been following this a little although I do have an nVidia card. You should check out Phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=category&item=Display%20Drivers They are probably the top followers of Linux display drivers that I know of. But off the top of my head I'd say that the ATI Catalyst drivers (closed source) are really getting pretty good now and almost on par with their windows equivalent. The RadeonHD (open source) drivers are also getting pretty good, although it depends on the chipset you're using (some have better support than others), and if you're not doing cutting edge gaming, they should perform fine for you.
