    Depends on what you mean by "quite good". Afaik, their OpenGL performance lags behind Direct3D. With nvidia, they're usually on par (I get 34fps in unigine 2.5 in dx11 and 31fps in opengl mode). I'd ve happy to hear AMD has closed this gap, but I haven't seen many OpenGL tests lately and none that compared directly to DX.
    But we don't know how similar the OpenGL and the Direct3D renderers actually are in Unigine.

    Are there reasonably complex benchmarks where it was even possible to implement the same algorithms in a similar way in Direct3D and in OpenGL so that we can know we are actually benchmarking Direct3D vs OpenGL implementations in the graphics drivers?

      You don't need to know, because you can compare the difference between DX and GL.

          Er, really?

          Oh. Ok. I had said in the original post back when the kwin fella said that he was going to drop GL1.. that AMD would never listen to something like this. Obviously, I was wrong. Actually, I was wrong twice since actually the Open Source drivers (for my Mobility 5870 at least) work just fine with all the stuff I normally do anyway.

          Well, there you have it. I was wrong and I'm willing to admit it, lol. Good for us that AMD's going to fix this, I prefer their cards to nVidia's.
