[Dri-devel] Linux vs. Windows Quake3 Demo Benchmarks

[Kreuzritter2000 <kre...@gm...>]

Hello

I made some Benchmark comparisons with my Video card under WinME and Linux=
,
here are the resulst:

Perhaps using the new tdfx driver branch 3.1, DRI inbuild Mesa 3.5 and Ker=
nel 2.4 could be a little
bit faster.

How To Benchmark:
Start Quake3 Arena Demo
Open console=20
(to open console with a German keyboard layout press "right
shift" + "`" -> the key next to =DF )
and insert the following commands:

> timedemo 1 <return>
> demo demo001.dm3
after that go back to console and read the values.
then enter
> timedemo 1 <return>
> demo demo002.dm3

The Linux drivers are not very fast compard to their=20
windows counterpart.
I hope that will change some day.=20
