Intel Mesa Driver Ups Counter-Strike Performance

I don't follow what you're suggesting here. You cropped out the part of my comment which states the i5 2500k is not Ivy Bridge. Ivy Bridge does support OpenGL 4.0, Sandy Bridge does not.

Ah, sorry. I'm not sure what Sandy Bridge supports.s

Sigh. Learn to read, people. That's why Kayden replied, and I quote:

Oops, right, thanks. I was thinking HD 2500, not the i5 2500 (sigh, product names).

Yeah, the i5 2500K is Sandybridge which can do GL 3.3. Ivybridge can do GL 4.

It's confusing, even to Intel developers.

You know, he's the guy that did the Ivy Bridge bring-up...

The hardware is not capable of OpenGL 4 as far as I'm aware.

The i5 2500k (Ivybridge) hardware can handle at least OpenGL 4.0, as far as I'm aware. It's purely software that limits it to 3.0.

Valve said they had handed Intel the Source Engine source code, so this performance gain must be about the native Linux version of CS:S.

Oh, Phoronix Forums. I wonder why I visit you.

L4D is a good game... but I can't wait for CS:GO to be released on Linux. Seriously.

Yup, because the person actually responsible for the change, telling you it was for Wine, right above your post, must be wrong. After all, this is The Internet.

Good luck fixing/improving your software then.
