[scottishduck]

AMD will never have a good year.

PTS automatically sets vblank_mode=0.

But I am running vanilla Ubuntu 12.4 with xorg-edgers, SwapBuffersWait=0, ColorTiling=1, ColorTiling2D=1, vblank_mode=0, pcie_gen2=1 and getting almost twice fps!!!

Michael please consider running the tests(or at least the tweaked configuration) with vblank_mode=0 when testing at high resolution.

I've noticed 1.6x fps increase: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...AR-MERGE234509

Some are claiming even almost doubled fps: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...BY-GOG09979773

I am getting 46fps in openarena 0.8.8 with vblank_mode=0 and pcie_gen2=1 compared to the 20-30fps in the 2012 May test...
