[Dri-devel] Framerate observations...

[Tom M. <fre...@ya...>]

Hi all,

  Is it normal to have consistently lower framerates in DRI than in
Glide? My Voodoo 3 3500 gets about 10 fps in Unreal Tournament in DRI
(along with some really choppy looking redraws while playing when
looking at distant objects whilst moving), where as Glide gets about 28
fps.

   Ditto with Quake 3, though the fps is not quite as different --
23 fps in DRI, 31.3 fps in Glide.

   The gamma correction when running DRI seems to make itself go up to
1.5 or 2 (from 1.0, which is in my Section "Monitor" as: "Gamma   
1.0")
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? The colours look a
little
more "washed out" when this happens.

   Are there any tweaks on getting framerates at least comparable
to Glide?

   The down 'n' dirty essentials:
   AMD K6-2 450
   192 MB RAM
   Voodoo 3 3500 TV AGP (16 MB)
   Linux 2.4.0-test10-pre5

   Thanks in advance,

    Tom
