Open source drivers for 5850...when?

[chrisr]

There is that, I suppose...

The OGL rendering engine from WoW is Crap nothing else. If you use windows and set the renderer to OGL you has the same result.

But a "crap" OpenGL renderer would presumably mean that WoW runs badly on a Mac too. (Why would Blizzard bother writing different OpenGL rendering for the Windows binary?)

I suspect that Wine's Direct3D implementation will "get there" eventually, but I still think that native OpenGL will be more reliable.
