But that does not happen with any hardware nor any drivers on Linux... OK maybe sometimes, but mostly not.
So yes, it does happen.

Slowest desktop and os, good choices. It is fun to see nerve breaking with religious people.

On the other hand, expecting a game with a wrapper layered on top to work as well as it does on Windows is "somewhat" unrealistic

If below 60% we can say it is bad port, if up than 80% then port is excellent even if it not most of the time exactly performant like on Windows

Originally posted by bug77 View PostNvidia has been providing that for years, so yes, people want it. I haven't checked lately, but if you ran Unigine benchmarks in OpenGL mode, they were actually a tad faster on Linux.

So yes, it does happen.

But is probably most of the GL slowness came from glx and validation bound, but gallium nine somwhow just avoid hitting these... but that also does not run all games succesfully, and not at all those beyond (and bellow) DX9 level, so there again you are sometimes fast enough and sometimes slow to cry and sometimes it does not even work

New driver, old problems. Until PRO will be able to run on a fully open source mainline kernel it will keep being like the old, useless "fglrx". Just let it die and focus on the open driver, we still need decent OpenCL support.## VGA ##
