Hmm, I bet these results are just for enabling 1D tiling then
Originally posted by glisse View PostThat's not entirely true, for mesa 8.1 you need new libdrm it's a requirement. If you have and old drm/ddx you will still get 1d tiling by default which was not the case previously. If you have proper kernel you will get 2D tiling for texture and then if you have ddx and enable option you will get 2D tiling for front buffer and zbuffer.
Now I'm curious how much further 2D tiling would do, assuming it isn't on. + PCIE2. Seems like there's a lot of different options for the radeon drivers that provide large performance boosts but are turned off by default. Hopefully that starts to change.

However, I did try WoW starter edition under Windows, and it was barely playable, 30 FPS with lowest quality settings. I believe you could expect similar frame-rate with HoN under Linux with the proprietary drivers, but with mesa it would most likely be completely unplayable.
If you want I can give it a try when I get home tonight and give you the exact numbers.
At the moment I play this game on a Pentium SU4100 and its quite ok on lowest settings(on Windows, I will try it with Ubuntu 12.04 again).
So I am wondering, if this would run better on a E-450(on Linux obv). I think it should do so. The gpu should be way better then a Intel GMA.
If not, I will wait til Trinity.
