Hi, The 'net claims that instancing is a SM3 feature[1] (r500), but also supported on SM2 ATI cards[2] (r300-r400).
Yet r300g claims no support for it, and it seems that even Nvidia's Windows drivers don't expose ARB_draw_instanced on gf6 and gf7[3]. What's the story here? Does the GL extension use something different than what DX uses? - Lauri [1] http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems2/gpugems2_chapter03.html "Using the Geometry Instancing API provided by DirectX 9 and fully supported in hardware by GeForce 6 Series GPUs" [2] http://aras-p.info/texts/D3D9GPUHacks.html , http://www.hardwareheaven.com/industry-news/51427-farcy-1-2-withdrawn-patch.html [3] http://feedback.wildfiregames.com/report/opengl/feature/GL_ARB_draw_instanced _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
