It has available 3 billion clocks each second. This allows about 34 clocks per triangle. With a properly optimized algorithm, using SSE and SSE2 to work on a tile at a time, this can be achieved. What the main processor lacks in physical resources it can make up with a higher clockspeed. I believe the GeForce 4Ti is at 300MHz now, is it not? Fillrate is still an issue, but will become less of one as time goes by. Memory bandwidth is ever increasing. Use a scene-capture algorithm and you reduce the required fillrate dramatically. -Raystonn _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
