I noticed that glxgears was slightly faster without TCL on my Radeon 7500. We argued that TCL means that the graphics card has to do more work and the CPU less. If your CPU is not otherwise occupied you can get higher framerates without TCL as the work is sort of shared by CPU and graphics card. You should also notice a higher CPU utilisation without TCL. If you get big differences in frame rates it may be something else, though. > > > Thanx, > > jOrGe W.
