Why is the performance so bad with Mario Kart? Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks.This doesn't mean your CPU is on pair with the fasted Ivy, this just shows the speedup we had in the JIT in the last year. Just try to build 4.0 and see the difference
But here I think it might really be the GPU thread which slows down. Mesa is mediocre, fglrx/catalyst are a lot faster. Are you using the lastest linux kernel + mesa version? Just post "uname -a" and "glxinfo | grep RENDER". They also did increase a lot in the last time.
