Originally posted by Veerappan View PostIf you take a look at the description and system specs in the linked results, you'll see that the comparison you're looking at is with the 3.4.0 kernel and is 3 months old. Given the amount of improvement between the 3.4 and 3.6 kernels, the Linux performance might be equal to, or higher than, the windows performance on those machines now for those chips.
improvement from 3.4 to 3.6 in Micheal's test is 42->57 FPS (1.35x)
interpolating the linked results would give 77.3FPS vs. 85.1FPS (i7 Linux vs. Windows)
still lower, but pretty close. so kudoz to intel developers

Still slower than Windows driver
this is pretty upsetting even with open source drivers and with all the collaborations, performance can not be excelled against Windows driver.
Windows driver does best what it supports even with fewer OpenGL extensions as well as almost no bugs when running games (even they use hecks to satisfy the specs but users look for end results).
Where Linux driver adding more and more extensions, slower, continuesly breaking one game or another while improving
I can not play Amnesia the Dark Descent anymore with Mesa 8, 8.1, git. The last Mesa for running Amnesia the Dark Descent properly was 7.11.2.
Features like point sprites is broken for gen4 from the beginning of Mesa and still not fixed

OpenArena performance
Why is the FPS so much lower in OpenArena 0.8.8 than in 0.8.5?
