VIA’s Chrome Drivers

Hmm. Chrome-center has an article up performance of VIA Chrome chips on windows and Linux for Nexuiz, with pretty charts showing that Nexuiz runs faster on Linux. I think this is way off.

For one thing, the Xorg and video driver guys are busy re-writing the entire Linux video stack because it’s entirely out of date.

For another thing, Nexuiz is an open source game. It makes some sense that performance would be more optimized on open source platforms.

Finally, I’d like to know what render settings are being used (both by default and by choice in the drivers) on both windows and Linux.
