I thought we were throwing around ~40% OGL increase...

Or maybe I got into a bad batch of cough syrup that day. I seem to recall some rubbish awhile back (I think in a mag) saying the new drivers they were testing (presumably 5.2 based...) were yielding up to 40% increase in framerates in OGL games. Today's posts don't look that promising.
Ah well, I'll try'em anyway tonite.

that was from the matrox propoganda team. Anytime they say 40% increase, figure on the performance actually decreasing

Nuts..I was really rooting for the driver dev team this time. Maybe we should get them to hang a holy @ss whupping on the propaganda team and then get back to work on 5.22?

Maybe we should start together writing an own OpenGL driver. The way Matrox handled this today, I could never be worse in performance.

Ahhhh, even more stress relieve. ;-)

Actually, I've tried developing my own OGL driver. After much reading and many tedious weeks of coding, it displays 'hello world' when you fire up a game. I think I'll leave the drivers to someone else
