Wouldn't it be something is Linux were architected in a way where BIOS support (and support for other legacy features) could be done in a sandboxed way...

The most famous one kept the old DX9 backend alive for the dozens of people still running XP. Another one had the (until recently) unemulated Motion+...

C++ allows a lot of bad practises; C even more. It's not particularly hard to write bad/unsafe code. The trick is to "not" do that. C/C++...

Likely isn't a VRAM sensitive benchmark, in which case I'd expect NVIDIA to scale better with resolution.

I do find NVIDIAs OpenGL performance...

In the real world? MSVC. Even when we have to support other compilers (GCC, WindRiver, etc.) we still do development on MSVC and only build on the target...

Basically, different groups pushed different standards that otherwise do mostly the same thing.

I note DP didn't really gain traction until...

Mercurial is definitely better then SVN....

The results aren't surprising; just like Intel's compiler results in the fastest AMD binaries even though AMD isn't directly targeted, Intels distribution...
