Originally posted by Milyardo View PostX.Org isn't the reason 3D performance is poor on open source drivers anyways. Mesa is the problem with 3D graphics stack. X.Org does have some issues, like in events and input, things that make compositing difficult. Things like running multiple drivers at the same time, and GPGPU computing are difficult because of X. X.Org nor X11 impose any significant limitation on the performance 3D games.

Maybe in 2019 Phoronix will ceases to compare the slow(est) [1] WM [2] to Windows and OSX.

Who cares of the window manager when the game is fullscreen?
PTS should support benchmarking in a separate X server, totally blank and without even a window manager.
I'm looking forward for year 2019...
