Open-Source Doom 3 Running On Wayland

Those are pretty good framerates, but then again it's on 640x480.. have you tried higher resolutions?

Yeah, I know, 640x480 windowed is just what I run most of the time, so the game doesn't get in the way when working on it.
With the same settings @1600x900 its 79fps on all three runs.
On even bigger resolutions it starts to slow down to a crawl, but I didn't look into that. Maybe a mesa bug, maybe filled vram, dunno.

In any case, r600g makes doom3 more than just playable.

That's excellent

I doubt that the slowdown on high resolutions is due to a filled VRAM, it's got 1GB, and assuming the driver reads it properly and use it, it'll take way more than Doom 3 at high resolution to fill it up, I think

Generally id tech 4 has trouble probing the amount of VRAM available when using the FOSS driver, meaning you have to specify it with a launch parameter.

For instance,
doom3 +set sys_videoRam 512

No idea if that is relevant at all though.

I can't read the video online in the article. When right-clicking, i can copy the url, which seems dead. Tested both with chromium and mplayer2, using ipv4 under linux.... ?
