* Intel has a big share in the graphics market. And especially on mobile PCs without another GPU people are stuck to it.
These might not be "real gamers" after your definition, but they still care...

The goal was to compare the performance of the Intel driver on Linux und Windows.


"AAA" games with high end graphic effects would perform poor on intel graphics. It's useless to compare results...

The article is about overclocking the integrated GPU, not the CPU cores (which should work for the most out of the box)...
... as both is called Turbo it got mixed up in the discussion, I guess.

Nice I could help... :)

Despite the name, i7z works (meanwhile) also with i5 and i3 CPUs.
Give it a try dh04000...

You might try http://code.google.com/p/i7z/ to monitor your CPU under load.
While other methods are sometimes misleading, it shows (at least for me) that turbo is indeed working...

You do seem kind of confused and angry...

What?

So...
...you're the middle one?

Don't get it...

Lol, you are right. And he really is answering to himself...

It's reassuring, that there aren't that many trolls - just a very busy one. :rolleyes:

My argument was:

He can stick with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for Catalyst and it's better 3D Performance, playing Nexius etc...
He can test out the newest 12.10 Beta using radeon, testing the newest...

It's not like you won't get software updates at all...

If your system is running and you stick with your hardware, you won't need the newest kernel to support your hardware.
Sure, you might miss...

Ubuntu 12.04 is LTS. You could stick for years with it, if you depend on catalyst...

Do you all have AGP versions or PCI-E?

Here is a good start:

Configuration, troubleshooting, tweaking...

...but to be honest, I doubt, you will be able to get playable fps. 3D...

With ppa-purge, also included in xorg-edgers ppa, you can revert to the original packages even if your xorg should be broken...
...at least worked well for me.

Thank you.

nohz=off helps, no frozen desktop any more...
...maybe not optimal, as the system is a laptop, but referring to
"The Impact Of A Tickless Kernel"
it doesn't seem to make such a big...

Hi,
I have some strange behaviour/bug with my graphic card and hope someone can give a hint...
The specs:
Mobility Radeon 9700 running on
Ubuntu 10.04 with the default
radeon driver (no Errors...

[drm] radeon default to kernel modesetting DISABLED.
Well then, I will use the xorg.conf. I was just curious...

Thanks all for the help

radeon is not listed in /etc/modules and adding the option to /etc/modprobe.conf does not have any effect.
As far as I understand, radeon ist loaded with the kernel (build in).
Pelase correct if...

Yesterday I installer Ubuntu 9.10. With my Mobility Radeon 9700 I always have to set AGPMode to 1, otherwise I'm getting freezes.

It works if I create manually a xorg.conf, but as this config file...

I guess he doesn't use it... :rolleyes:.
