Open Source ARM Mali Driver Runs Q3A Faster Than the Proprietary Driver

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday February 6, 2013 @03:08AM from the hit-the-fraglimit dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The lima driver project, the open source reverse engineered graphics driver for the ARM Mali, now has Quake 3 Arena timedemo running 2% faster than the ARM Binary driver." There's a video showing it off. Naturally, a few caveats apply; the major one is that they don't have a Free shader compiler and are forced to rely on the proprietary one from ARM, for now.

Your work is appreciated!
Ignore all the idiots who hate their lives that lurk around /. criticizing every accomplishment of others. /. is starting to suck. Your work though is great!
