Hi there,

just discovered the following interesting news entry at phoronix:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=936&num=1
Quote:
On the Phoronix Forums, ejs1920 had reported an 80% performance boost when using the x11perf benchmark during the aa10text test, which measures glyph compositing performance.


seems like amd/ati is doing its work (in tiny baby steps) - 1 more year and performance should be on par with nvidia's :lol: :roll:

definitely movement in the right direction :idea:

You should try Textured2D. Some people reported insane improvements (as you probably read there), but it slowed down things to a crawl on my R300.. :|
