I think Graal 3 renders with OpenGL/Direct 3D, or at least something other than Graal 2 and 4's DirectDraw. Graal 3D I think uses the Graal 3 client (or at least last time I could get on, it did), so I doubt any results we'd get off that can be compared to Graal 4. Graal 3 was the fastest client for me for regular Graal servers (non-3D), but also the buggiest. If Graal 3 could be developed to a usable state, I think that would easily be the best client choice (as far as performance) for people with OK video cards. Can't Graal 4 have an option like in Graal 3 to render with OpenGL, Direct3D, and DirectDraw? From experiences, the first two would solve this slow down problem.
There's probably no good reason to disable Graal 3D for "regular" P2P accounts. I think it's just being done to make VIP (and/or gold maybe?) subscribers feel like they're actually getting something for their money. |
