Then sorry for the noise, maybe the commit could have made it a bit clearer :) It does seem that latest version of quake 3 (and ioquake3) use a large enough buffer of 8192. But earlier versions of q3 might have used something as short as 512. Unfortunately, I could not find when exactly it was fixed. I somehow forgot the obvious fact that there are 20 or more q3 based proprietary games (thanks to Patrice Mandin for pointing that out) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Tech_3#Uses_of_the_engine We would need to test them all in their latest version to know which ones are still affected and were not fixed. I could not find any report / information about that either. Patrice also pointed me to the workaround that nvidia driver provides itself : http://us.download.nvidia.com/freebsd/190.42/README/chapter-09.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
