[E-devel] Matrox EVAS Benchmarks

[Ben R. <be...@cu...>]

Awhile back I had complained of poor evas benchmark results
on the Matrox G400 Max side of the world, and been quite
jealous of the nVidia owners.  Welp, I'm glad to report that I
_finally_ have DRI support under XFree864.0.1 and the crashes
on "Signal 11" have ended.   I'm now getting 100-130 FPS with
hardware rendering under evas_test.  Just thought I'd mention it 
to unsettle some of the nVidia owners, and make sure that thoughs
of you with Matrox cards don't go to the dark side <grin> because
you think your Matrox is a peice of s***.
	
	BTW, Quake3Arena is giving me good FPS too, but not as
good as most of the nVidias, admitadly.  I'm getting 30-60FPS
in 1024x768, 16bit textures, and everything else set to max.
I guess the nVidia owners are getting up to 90 FPS with the 
same settings. <shrug>  This info seems to secure Matrox's
hold on the supperier "business" card, while lacking slightly
in the game market.
