This conclusion is definitely wrong. The Ivy Bridge die is smaller and therefore the heatspreader does not work so well as with a bigger die (Amd ones are definitely BIGGER). Also those speed records...

Or if you want to wait for next highend 700 series cards (maybe with dx11.1 support, all cards now are dx11.0), those should be out in a few months. The slower/cheaper ones are usually out much...

I mainly noticed instabilities using flash 11.2 with vdpau on some cards. You can try this hack (adjust path to the libflashplayer.so if needed):

A gl2benchmark rendering issue that showed up in flight gear as well needed about 1y fix for fglrx as well. I think there was a 2nd issue which needed a similar timeframe but dont remember it now....

When will Rage/Doom 3 BFG run with mesa? How much faster would be mesa git compared to 9.1 for Ivy Bridge and Left 4 Dead 2? Team Fortress 2/Half-Life 2 DM was basically playable but L4D2...

Portal Beta was playable with Intel HD 4000 (kernel 3.9, mesa 9.1.1) but i only installed it because there is still no L4D2. Now i see the next game with source engine, but it is still not L4D2......

It's no medkit, you carry it all the time to heal yourself or others. But healing others is faster, you can do that with 50% again, when you heal yourself you need to wait till 100% is recovered.

I could implement it for Ubuntu as well, but that would require an older version like 12.04 (or a ppa with xserver-xorg-core downgrade). I did not install Ubuntu for over 1 year because it...

I don't get why you need Fedora. Fedora has IMHO no infrastructure to switch parallel installed gfx stacks. But Debian has em, therefore i have got an implementation for Kanotix that can do that in...

Why do you write Catalyst when you use radeon driver? When you write Catalyst then fglrx is usally meant.

I really like to see L4D2 on Linux. I did not expect that it would take so long however. Most likely they have been busy converting TF2 to steampipe, you can select that in the BETA tab now for TF2,...

I would NOT use testing in the sources.list because it can break immediately after wheezy final release. It is much better to use the codename like wheezy in there - i use wheezy since about 1 year...

You need support for memory remapping for full 4 GB or more RAM. If your BIOS does not enable it by default look for an option or check if a BIOS update solves the issue. Even when you don't need the...

uvd/vdpau is not fully compatible to current apps - most likely you did not test it yourself. It works somehow with mplayer/vlc (via vdpau-video wrapper with extra symlink), has problems...

@brosis

I don't know how to do that with udev, maybe it works with systemd, but thats not available with Debian in a recent version (udev is therefore outdated as well). But that is still...

Basically Fedora is an interesting option to try lastest oss drivers but i miss somehow the infrastructure to switch between other binary drivers which have been installed in parallel. That works...

@XorEaxEax

It is incorrect that nouveau always uses the lowest clockspeed. It just uses the clockspeed thats set by the vga bios on boot when you don't enforce reclocking. That can be a higher...

@brosis

Call it how you like but when something is not enabled by default and works automatically only a few users will even notice it existance. I personally could use it but i have to think...

I tested Nv GTX 295 and Nv GT630 OEM (Kepler) with TF2 and Mesa 9.1 final some weeks ago. Interestingly the Kepler based card had much fewer rendering errors than the much older one. I did not check...

Right, 3.9 rc8 seems better ;) Well i did not have got huge issues with rc7, however with rc6 on 32 bit i had lots of those PAE errors while using Google Chrome - this seems to be fixed.
