Re: [Dri-devel] Radeon PCI API
Your best bet, if you can find one, is a fireGL 8800. It's basically an overclocked 8500. barring that the 8500's and 9100's are the next fastest.

I'll have to check the docs when I get home. The original PCI GART work does done for HP for radeon support on Alpha. At the time it was just for regular radeons. Michel did some re-arranging fairly recently to unify the gart code between PCI and AGP. Also I am wondering if there is any word on specs for r250 and r300. If not, I would like to know what the best supported card is in DRI with the least software implemented GL. I assume you are talking about r350. the r250 is just a variation of the r200 core and docs are available for that. no 3D databooks are available yet for r300 to my understanding. I don't know if that will change in the future or not. I'd say the best supported cards are r200 based radeons (8500 to 9200 cards). Alex __ Do you Yahoo!?

Arguably the Radeon 9100. Just make sure you don't get some crappy card with a 64-bit memory interface; it'll perform like crap no matter how good the drivers are.

Well, I got a cheap 9100. It doesn't perform as good as my previous geforce Ti4200, and they managed to cripple it by having an analogue only DVI connector. But hey, it used open source drivers! The 9100 only exist in versions with 128bit memory interface, or is it dependent on manufacturer? -- Torgeir Veimo [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

I have yet to determine why but since AGP ppl have really good performance even in 1x, its looking like somethings happening with the PCI side, or mesa is using software rendering for PCI for some reason where it doesn't on the AGP. You can check the Mesa and 3D driver debugging output for fallbacks yourself, but both behave exactly the same regardless of the bus type. As you may have gathered from reading this list, it's basically a mystery.
