High-performance 3D on Haiku

Seems amazing that you can get almost 2,000fps on GLTeapot via just software rendering. However, you didn’t mention what CPU/motherboard you were running, only the version of Mesa and the graphics card model. Since it’s CPU rendering, then we need to know what CPU you’re using! Also, perhaps, the revision of Haiku as well.

I actually got GLTeapot past 2401 FPS (i.e. using software rendering only) on a basic system w/ Intel HD 4600 IGP.

I tested SuperTuxKart on my old Y2010 x86 laptop with 1GB memory and a 1.7Ghz dual-core processor.

@X512 ran Vulkan demos and a Xonotic game with Mesa 22.2.0-devel and the new RadeonGfx driver.

We have other demos for benchmarking already…

Expected speedup: Depends, usually 2x-11x overall performance increase (see notes) depending on screen resolution and other factors. On BeOS 5.0.3, I’ve seen GLTeapot run at 4552 FPS.

Note: Based on my reviews on Intel HD Graphics 4600, Intel Arc A770 (16GB), AMD Radeon RX 590, and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
