Hi list, I've been having troubles getting OpenGL applications' performance up to par. I have an Nvidia Geforce 6800GT with a PCI-Express interface and I use nvidia's closed FreeBSD drivers. I have been told that FreeBSD (and consequently the nvidia driver) do not fully support PCI-Express which makes my card operate at the same speed of a plain old PCI bus, which would be a logical explanation for my troubles. I have however not been able to find _anything_ on the matter on google and I am now wondering how much truth there is to this. My question is in the subject, I hope someone can clarify this as I it will help me decide to get an AGP card instead or perhaps keep trying to figure out if I have misconfigured something. Thanks in advance, HN
