The ATI R600/700 DDX & Mesa Now Have Tiling In Place

[netkas]

well, sorry, 86 fps in q3 was actualy without tiling enabled.
with 2D tiling enabled i got 117 fps.

You should get an even bigger boost if you enable 2D tiling. Revert this patch:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/commit/?id=cc0a167ff2db9b097891883ded147af1d67e4407

to enable 2D tiling.

Thanks a lot, it worked (also adding dri2 device to .drirc worked too) for glxgears, not for q3 tho, still cant measure real fps in it

nvm, restarted X and got 84.6 fps in q3

However, all that will be to no avail until we hit stable 125 FPS in Q3. Whenever I get that on my machine, the OSS driver can be considered finished.

: )

I guess r300g can be considered finished then?

Oh, sweet music for my ears...

Curiously, I'm 100% with you on this one. It's high time developers get their priorities straight. I admit power saving, compositing, video acceleration and what not are interesting features. However, all that will be to no avail until we hit stable 125 FPS in Q3. Whenever I get that on my machine, the OSS driver can be considered finished.

Set the env var vblank_mode=0. See this bug for more vsync details:

Well, quake3 is much faster now

[netkas]

Well, quake3 is much faster now, but i hit vsync limit (75 fps here)

And i cant disable sync to vblank on 2.6.35 (from drm-core-next git repo) kernel, tried driconf - it has no effect.

Alex, do you know (and could you tell) how to disable sync to vblank?

Ah I see. ATI doesn't make their own cards (anymore), right?
But yeah that was probably the case

What you said can still be true. I don't see why an I2C would make any difference. agd5f only said that it wasn't an internal sensor, not that what you said wasn't true.
