[Testing - Trixie] OpenGL applications having poor performance with Intel Arc A380

Some troubleshooting info here - install mesa-utils if you haven't already and check this out - https://wiki.debian.org/Mesa#A3D_acceleration

Turn off vsync?

edit: Apparently you can't disable vsync in Wayland, you'd have to configure this in X.

In Minetest/Luanti vsync was disabled. Enabling it didn't change anything. In warzone2100, it was enabled and disabling it didn't make a change.

Are you running them under X or Wayland?

Everything seems to be working, perhaps someone else has an idea? Looks to me like everything is configured properly.

Might be some bug in trixie Intel drivers? I have another AMD GPU here which my Father uses as the 2nd seat. Curious to see if it works fine there.

I also followed this guide to enable XPU support: viewtopic.php?t=161569 and installed some packages.

Should I report this as a bug somewhere?
