Re: OpenGL performance with Gala

 

Sergio, what GPU and driver do you have?

If it's an AMD GPU with the proprietary driver, this is likely caused
by the multitude of vsync bugs in catalyst, where vsync either doesn't
work or causes a slideshow-like performance, e.g. on moving windows in
Gala.

According to http://limbogame.org/news/, Limbo runs via a WINE
wrapper, and that causes even more issues with Catalyst, namely...
vsync again. Unreal and Skyrim in WINE have terrible tearing under
Unity2D (metacity) on my HD6770, for example.
