Are you serious? What kind of FPS is "fly"? And what games have you tested this with?

There is possibly another little glitch in the "install a second gfx card" in the pci slot idea... It doesn't work, I plugged a R9250 in (before I had the sound card / network cards fitted) and it wasn't found by OS4. This was in early December though and things minght have changed now... The best thing to do is try it if you have a spare card but don't buy one to try unless you're rich...

I can confirm a second graphics cards does work.

Excellent, I'll be fitting a second card when we get a working sound/ethernet driver for OS4 then

Where? I've got Beta 50 and can't see any option for composition for rendering in the prefs only softppc to bitmap or softppc to image.

Hmmm, I'm using what appears to be v53.1 of Wazp3D (I say "appears" as the previous version I had installed also has version string v53.1) - it is 631,811 bytes in size. Anyway, when I chose "Compositing2D" in Wazp3D-Prefs, games which otherwise work, such as GLQuake or Quake II, don't work at all. (GLQuake won't load and crashes my X1000; Quake II slows to a complete crawl) - so I find the best setting is to leave it at softppc to bitmap, with "Quake,glMatrix Patch" enabled.

Sorry for not giving enough details. I havent tried games like Quake2/3. I tried only some OpenGL games from os4depot. They were deadslow before using the composition in wazp3d and with composition they run fine. Even Blender runs ok but can crash for me sometimes while running.
