[Flightgear-devel] Shader performance and multiple GPU?

2010-11-01 Thread Torsten Dreyer
Hi, as pointed out in other threads, I am currently assembling a machine with five nVidia cards. The machine and the cards are fast enough to render a steady 60fps, synced to vblank. But this is only with shaders disabled. The moment, I enable shaders and 3d- clouds, the frame rate drops to

Looks like this is a hardware problem. Looking at the kernel log, I found irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the irqpoll option) irq 16 is being used by nvidia and the onboard USB ports. After disabling USB in the BIOS, it seems like everything is running smooth. Because all my control
