Gurus -
In a system here with a Radeon 7500 (3X-PBXGG-AA) card, purchased through a third-party, said came with an Open3d license, Model # QL-0AFAE-AA. I noticed in the docs for the Radeon that it calls for a license, QL-6ZRA9-AA, to use this card. So, my first question is whether these licenses are equivalent, if we need to use both, or can only use the QL-6ZRA9-AA license.
I ask because we have an OpenGL app that worked fine on older PowerStorm cards (i.e. 350s, 300s) that now appears to chew CPU (60% of 833mHz) when using the Radeon. Replacing the Radeon with a Powerstorm350 brings CPU usage down to ~.5% and graphics redraws are much smoother. So, not sure if it's a hardware difference in implementation of the OpenGL spec, or the app not using the Radeon because of the license.
Our developers are investigating to see if we have any oddball calls in the app that might be breaking things.
OS is 5.1B, PatchKit 3.
Has anyone seen anything like this? Suggestions, comments, questions, etc are welcomed.
Thanks as always,
Eric
