if you are particularly referring to opencl, you may be quite off base re: "Good performance" and "Acceptable performance". iiuc, the "open" drivers do not have good/acceptable performance, especially re: opencl. the NVIDIA drivers are more or less required for higher quality video performance. I cannot testify to performance with AMD prop drivers, I refuse to use unless forced due to their support or lack of support. I do have an i7 with intel card which has acceptable performance but do not use opencl. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
