Big Graphics Card Comparison Of Metro Redux Games On Linux

I guess Michael can improve phoronix-test-suite to automaticaly calculate and show percentages in benchmarks. People often talking about and can remember percentages .

I also use radeon driver but i always talking roughly about 80%, sometimes it can be above 100% of fglrx performance, sometimes 70% let say. Depending on the app it can be 40-130% but those are extremes and rarely happens

No. Try again, use a calculator this time.

You can look at for yourself, you posted the links, so you clearly already did. Must be mental bias.

Most of them do fall within 90% or better.

I've seen Windows slideshows too. But the cause was the 5+ app updaters running in the background and various kinds of shovelware that willingly or unwillingly found its way onto the computer. The GPU being Intel, AMD or Nvidia. It seems your repair services are mostly centered around scamming people into buying new hardware.

Oh I definitely know how to clean a windows machine. I charge 145$ for it. When dealing with INtel graphics there are 2 choices, 1: Upgrade the video card or 2: disable most desktop effects.

Those are the only options that exists. If my customers don't choose 1: then I fall back to 2:

Nope, you are hallucinating or you fail in percentage calculations.

Some very old cards get close to 90% in some tests but most of the time the open driver loses by a mile.

I'm looking at the same benchmark results you are, and plainly these results are damn good for the OSS driver. Most of them do fall within 90% or better.

I repair windows computers for a living. I have to deal with Intels slideshow desktop basically everyday.

I wouldn't call it "WAAAAY faster" but at least it can beat Catalyst in some tests:

Did you actually take the time to look through those links? Most of them OSS is 90% or better. I admit r600g is closer to that mark than radeonsi, but radeonsi is much better since about 2 months ago. Thanks for the links.

I hate to say it, but benchmarking 2d doesn't work well. Maybe it isn't very measurable but it is very percievable.

Erm, dude, WTF are you talking about? Seriously, what the heck are you talking about? This is so far removed from reality, it's... cloud cuckoo land.

Lay off the drugs man. Drugs are bad, mkay?

The truth is the -only- Intel GPU that can run a desktop comfortably is the Iris Pro with integrated eDRAM. Lets look at the past here.... On Vista's launch Intel graphics couldn't run that desktop. On windows 8 launch Intel graphics couldn't run that desktop. On KDE4 release Intel graphics couldn't run that desktop. On Gnome3 release Intel graphics couldn't run that desktop. How many times does Intel have to prove that they don't care?
