Hi Gert,

ATI dont' do display lists efficiently so you could try disabling the
use of display lists.

The env var OSG_DATABASE_PAGER_DRAWABLE can be used to switch off the use
of display lists in the pager by setting it to VertexArrays.

  osgviewer --help-env

Will display the available env vars.  You can also set this option
programatically via the DatabasePager interface itself.

Hi guys,

I know this has been discussed extensively on the list and brought to
attention of ATI. ATI have improved their drivers however I don't think
they fixed it completely. I have a 25Gb globe and paging on a machine with
a ATI X1600 card is still considerably slower than on a machine with a
GeForce 6800. Machine are identical in RAM and have same HDs. Framerate on
ATI drops to 10-15 while paging, eventually back to 60fps when every tile
is paged in -> frame rate on Nvidia is 50-60 fps while paging.

Of course Vsync is always on on both machines.

Any other tips on how we can improve the paging on ATI cards?

Regards Gert
