Being an ATI fanboy I had to pull the full brunt of the bad opengl support and it has changed my mind about their software side. The support for OpenGL had been stiffled ever since OpenGL had lost the lead starting in 2007 or so. One of the examples that affected my ability to use OpenGL applications and that started my research into the drivers was from the game Love, http://www.gaminglove.net/forums/f11/fixed-white-planet-issue-465/ where I found a certain change in the OpenGL implementations in the drivers that started exhibiting a severe glitch.
Thankfully I have moved on with a new computer and a nVidia card (regretfully) instead, I have never had a three digit FPS before in SL. It most definitely comes from the side of ATI, they just seem to refuse to fix the buggy OpenGL implementation. If only the drivers were as good as the hardware then they would pretty much dominate the market. - Nexii On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 1:34 PM, Laurent Bechir <laurent.bec...@madonie.org>wrote: > > > Trilo Byte a écrit : > > Side note, Dave's comment about all Macs shipping with ATI cards is > > inaccurate.
