What about software rendering?What about software rendering?Posted Jul 31, 2006 16:10 UTC (Mon) by forthy (guest, #1525)In reply to: What about software rendering? by talphir Parent article: OLS: Open source graphics drivers
They actually do OpenGL "optimization". Like filtering textures in a way that works only good for horizontal and vertical walls (what the majority of games needs). There are a lot of cheats in the cards/OpenGL drivers to make them benchmark better on popular games. Oh, that's probably a reason why not to open source the driver, but if they choose to cheat, they could do that on their binary-only driver, and still have a competing OS driver that just happend to be more accurate but slower on rendering games.
