I'll look into those Quake2 demos for the next try. Benchmarking Quake2 and Quake3 is very fast, so including another demo or two shouldn't be a problem. > My other critical comment is that you only have texture intensive > benchmarks.

I'd be interested in average FPS for things like blender, chromium, bzflag, etc... Perhaps they'll take patches to add it in if the code isn't there already. I gave up on specviewperf after waiting over half an hour for the Voodoo 5 to run it. It's just too time consuming. Are there one or two tests that stand out in particular? The HTML version with lots of pretty pictures and graphs is online here: http://www.nixnuts.net/benchmarks/040815/ Thanks to everyone that has given feedback. I'll run another round of benchmarks in a month or two and try to submit bug reports on everything that doesn't work in the mean time. DRI is an amazing piece of software.... Many thanks to everyone for the great work.
