10.1 Performance Poll: Rage Pro/II Macs


As a follow-up to my previous note about Mac OS 10.1 still not supporting Rage Pro (and, I’m told, Rage II) Macs in terms of hardware acceleration and Open GL:

I am collecting reports on 2D and 3D performance on these machines, to test whether 3D is affected alone, or 2D as well. These are the initial iBooks, iMacs, and bronze PowerBooks. My semi-formal poll is posted here.

I’ll report what I discover if I get enough responses. (You’ll notice a few non-Rage Pro reports mixed in for comparison–you’ll know them by the fact that the Beach screen saver will animate.)
