You're probably referring to: http://smolts.org/

But it doesn't collect software data, so we can't do any kind of
correlation.  Actually, probably the best source of data now is:

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Status

So for NVIDIA that links to:
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix

For ATI:
