[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #2649: Opengl video renderer

[Mark Buechler]

Mark, if this OGL OSD renderer is at some point in the near future going to
be in one of Myth's branches, and things are more or less stable, I'll
probably opt for upgrading my card. In the mean time I can test with a 6800
to guage performance. I was thinking of going with a 7600 endstate.

Thanks for your reply.

- Mark.
