<div class="gmail_quote">2009/1/14 Vedran Rodic <<a href="mailto:vrodic@gmail.com">vrodic@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Probably unrelated, but the old 915tex driver had about 50% better framerate in glxgears than either the old Mesa driver, or the current. Of course, this driver is now obsolete. Do you have any idea why was that driver so much faster? If I remember correctly, the performance improvement was also visible in quake3. </blockquote></div> afaik glxgears now is vblank synced by default and someone even wrote its not a benchmarking tool. You can disable vblank syncing with dri-conf. When it comes to openarena, regnum-online, nexuiz without GLSL it preformes fine and is pretty playable on GM965. Windows does not preform that much faster and no tests were done to show real difference.
