Currently i'm cunning on modesetting driver in stead of nouvueau, and i'd
say that i get more FPS on CS:GO game around 10%.

I'm going to plan to replace intel and nouveau with modesetting driver for
3.02

>  - Make sure you are not using proprietary drivers for nVidia
>  - Delete (or rename to something different) /etc/X11/xorg.conf
>  -  Make sure you have no "driver" snippets in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
>  - remove Xorg intel or nvidia drivers by running as root: rpm -e --nodeps
> x11-driver-video-Z        where Z is one of intel or nvidia
>
>  - restart your X
>  - play some fullscreen 3D games
>  - use Plasma with OpenGL features
>
> What are benefits of using modesetting ?
>  - no custom drivers with barely maintained code
>  - use GLAMOR for 2D acceleration based on OpenGL Mesa stack (https://
> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server#GLAMOR)
>  - well maintained driver
>  - potentially no black screens and strange freezes
>
> Feedback really appreciated.
