Listmates,
The new ATI driver is available from the ati site. The 9.1 release is version 8.573-1. The driver installs fine and seems to work fine on 11.0, but it is still slow compared to the 8-9 release. (it's a little slow compared to the 8-12 release).
The annoying sluggishness of the driver is most noticeable when browsing through my bookmarks or scrolling pages. It probably effects games as well, but I don't run any to tell.
Hi David I've also just this weekend updated to 8.573, but I can't say I've noticed any sluggishness, Doom3 seem to run fine.
The glxgears comparison is as follows:
9-1 Driver:
01:02 alchemy:~> glxgears #no compix 3030 frames in 5.0 seconds = 605.572 FPS 2587 frames in 5.0 seconds = 517.319 FPS 2578 frames in 5.0 seconds = 515.254 FPS
My glxgears numbers are even worse: 1883 frames in 5.0 seconds = 376.295 FPS 1882 frames in 5.0 seconds = 376.395 FPS 1887 frames in 5.0 seconds = 377.395 FPS 1890 frames in 5.0 seconds = 377.996 FPS This is with glxgears maximized on a 1680x1050 screen, the card is a Radeon X1650. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.00°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
