    Thats the version i use:

    MorphOSQuake3 1.0 (30.8.2005) By Mark Olsen, based on Quake 3 1.32b by Id Software

    seems pretty old, but its from the most recent (?) quake III archive from morphos files website.
    Pegasos II G4 @1.0GHz, 1GB DDR Ram, Radeon 9200Pro, 240GB SSD+160GB HD, MorphOS 3.18, AmigaOS4.1 FE, Debian 8

    For those of you benchmarking Quake 3, make sure you do the following:
    1) Reboot
    2) Don't run anything that uses OpenGL
    3) Open a shell and type the following command: setenv TGLSYNC 0
    4) Start Quake 3
    5) In the Quake 3 console, type: r_primitives 2
    6) In the same console, type: timedemo 1
    7) Finally type: demo four

    If you get anything below 50 FPS, you're either running a very high resolution on a very weak graphics card or you're using an Efika ;)


    it seems the Powerbook 5,8 is one of those weak machines... I have only 30,2 FPS in 640x480


    Unlikely. My PowerBook5,6 gets 60.6 FPS at 1280x854 (the native resolution). At 640x480 it gets 126.2 FPS.
    I rarely log in to MorphZone which means that I often miss private messages sent on here. If you wish to contact me, please email me at [username]@asgaard.morphos-team.net, where [username] is my username here on MorphZone.

    ok i've found the bad guys!

    beware of scube and szoom! they cripple your performance! :D

    after deactivating them i got 115FPS in 640x480 and 76FPS in 1024x768

    I know that OS4 has 3D support for a few R200 AGP/PCI cards, what I meant above was the *PCIe* cards that has been hyped by OS4 users for half a decade now.



    I know you know that. My point was there is some issue with the X1000 that makes using a gfx card in a PCI slot practically useless. Some time ago i read some X1000 were getting frustrated so they bought and installed Radeon 9250 in the PCI slot. The resulting benchmarks were much worse than a Sam460. There were some revelation that there was no DMA to the standard PCI slots, or something to that effect.


    It might be an OS4 thing, like it was with DMA on SAM460ex, not necessarily the Nemo boards feature. People used PCI->PCI-E converters to get a bit better speed.

    SAM440 used to outperform X1000s PCI bus for gfx.

    That's theoretical throughput, which can only be achieved by transferring large blocks at a time (usually using DMA). Using DMA for such transfers is only implemented for Sam4x0 machines at this time.



    Has there been any tests of this (and public results) in Linux?
    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)

    True, I bough it with top notch AmigaKit offered RadeonHD 6870 card and 2D driver for AmigaOS, and now I am supposed to buy new gfx card and new driver? I am glad for those who have corresponding card, but I will rather wait for driver for my card or AmigaOS 4.2 I have prepaid.


    Very strange indeed. First they sell customers a lot of graphics cards of certain models, then they write drivers for *other cards* instead of providing driver support for the ones they sold with their systems...
