Re: Very slow 3D in DX6 app with DRI enabled]

Yes, the 945GM perform horrible with the current Linux drivers for 3D
stuff, much worse than their windows-counterparts.
However the situation will improve a bit with TTM or GEM memory
manager in kernel, however that can take some time.

I for myself would not buy nvidia cards because they suffer from
terrible performance under 2D and they don't release their specs.
AMD does, and their drivers are now compareable with NVidia's on Linux.
Maybe for now specs are not important at all for you, but maybe you
would like to use the card when its old in some web-browsing computer
where maintained 2D drivers would be nice, even a few years after
buying it.
