I do not seem to have an ENVARC:Warp3D/ drawer.

Should I?
If so could it's absence be the cause of my poor 3D games performance?

I use an X1000 with 6850 and 9250.

The Envarc:Warp3D drawer contains subdirectories for each hardware driver that in turn allow you to adjust the behaviour of thr drivers, mostly to improve backwards compatibility with software written for older iterations. Most drivers allow you to ajdust these settings for each installed application.

Some settings may affect performance too but don't expect miracles. On my R200 I found out that forcing a 16-bit Z buffer made a noticable difference for a lot of minigl games that don't need a stencil buffer.
