Attention Radeon users
category: general [glöplog]
We are trying to sort out what goes wrong in the party version of the Legomania demo so if you could take a moment and run these test programs:
http://www.multi.fi/~mbc/dsd/
we would be very thankful. There is a readme.txt file in there with some instructions.
For reference:
System 1: Pentium3 600MHz, GeForce2 MX 32 MB
System 2: Pentium4 2.5 GHz, GeForce4 Ti 4200 128 MB
The tests run at the following speeds (with the default resolution):
Thank you,

i've mailed the results to you! please let us know if you've found the reason for such a bad performance.
done the same.
I suspect the reason for the huge disparity in performance is that the OGL implementation selects a software path for the rendering technique they've selected.
isnt that always the reason why opengl is slow on some machines and not others?
Without glow: 200FPS
With glow (both): ~9FPS
Your rendertarget code must be screwy :P

3D: 137 fps. looks like screenshot.
3D_Glow: 33 fps. looks NOT like screenshot - background is screwed and glow texture is static in the front.
3D_Glow_RTT: "There was an unknown exception thrown in this application, probably originating in the demopaja core..."

no glow texture btw...
i've finaly relaunched legomania with the the catalyst and it run perfect, and i've finaly saw the end :)
"new catalyst" ....

Test 1: between 13.5 and 20.4 FPS, visually ok
Test 2: same framerate as test 1, no glow whatsoever
Test 3: same framerate as test 1, no glow whatsoever
Proprietary Dell Laptop Drivers
The first time after booting that I run any demopaja program, it shows up horizontally offset by about 20 or 30 pixels? (hard to tell) such that the right side is cut off.

I'm not sure a Rage Mobility qualifies as a Radeon :)
test 1: 60 fps
test 2: 5-6 fps
test 3: 5-6 fps
I have a Radeon 9600 PRO and an AMD Athlon 1ghz cpu. All of the above tests looks ok visually.

All look good visually.. but every test crashes my entire PC on exit! No bluescreen or anything, just a reboot. The Legomania demo did the same, but this hasn't happened with any other demo/game/software so far.

Gargaj: It was worth a try... I like to have demos that run on my computer (don't we all?)...

Yep, I get about the same results as others.
XP-SP1, DX9.0b, 2000+, 9600Pro 128MB
same as above except that:
test1 : 100+ with catalyst 3.6, 60 (+BSOD at exit)with catalyst 3.7
and Legomania gives an error at exit but who really cares ? ;)

mmm silly me, the fps difference must be due to FSAA...
Ironically, I DO get glow on the object where/when it appears in Legomania.
Catalyst 3.6 / Radeon 9000 Pro
Everything runs as intended
test 1: ~112fps
test 2: ~5fps
test 3: ~5fps
interestingly enough, the latter two run at ~9 fps in windowed mode.

So, should we take this as a proof that Radeon cannot render to texture at acceptable speed or what?
Bad. Very bad.
I don't think there's an effect you couldn't do with it yet it's always portable (no modern pixel/fragment shit required) and ATI fails to recognize this. If this is so then death to the fucking morons.
