Hey Mick, |
| 41 |
I updated the the git version of the xf86-video-ati driver this |
| 42 |
morning, but am still using all the stable versions of everything |
| 43 |
else. I tried gtkperf. Not satifying at all in terms of demonstrating |
| 44 |
anything with 3d performance. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
We need a better benchmark! I'm going to go look around a bit for |
| 47 |
something more fun... |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Cheers, |
| 50 |
