Runs like total shit on a GMA #74

Closed iamgreaser closed 10 years ago

This is an important target platform and we need to take some measures to ensure that this runs better than it currently does.

I suspect we'll have to generate some textures and combine quads and crap like that to get this to work properly. I also suspect this'll clash with melchips' fake AO thing, so it'd have to be a mutually exclusive setting. gl_pleb_mode perhaps?

Speaking of textures, the text drawing is kinda slow on the loading screen. We should probably make this step faster if possible.

Benchmarking has pointed out that running this at 400x300 instead of 800x600 does NOT improve performance - it is NOT a fillrate issue.

@melchips added a gl_quality parameter which changes all the glHint things so it runs faster on shittier GPUs and I assume Mesa swrast. |Talent| gets 20fps now, not sure what he used to get. Eldred gets something like 8fps on his 845, although it tends to decay over time (I really need to fix that bug somehow).

Closing this because the GMA 3150 is a pile of shit.
