I remember, my brother has a Diamond card based on Riva-TNT chip. He
also uses a resloution of 1600x1200 at 32bpp, he don't use 3D things,
not even GL-screensavers. But I had tried that and it was painfully
slow. Switching back to 1024x786 and 16bpp and speed was fine. I
thought 3D on this high resolution and colour depth was to much to
handle for this card.
Btw, the screensavers running in a small window were fine, tuxracer in
a window of 640x480 was playable, too. About 16-20 fps, iirc. The
larger the tuxracer window was, the poorer the speed was.
Me, having a Geforce2, don't see such problems. Unless I turn full
screen antialiasing on...
