PBuffers performance problem

Hello

I’m having some strange performance problems, and I wonder if anyone could help.

I’m using pbuffers and render to texture for offscreen renderíng, and then displaying the offscreen buffer “onscreen” by binding it and drawing 2 triangles, filling the viewport compleatly.
This introduces a sigificant performance loss (it pretty much halfens my framerate apposed to direct “onscreen” rendering), and I’m getting frustrated because it seems I can’t figure out anything to do about it.

I know that the context switching between the “onscreen” and offscreen contexts can be slow, but i hope not this slow…

Any ideas??

Thanx for your time

Any figures?

Going from 2000fps to 1000fps isnt as bas as going from 40fps to 20fps…

I’ve tried on different machines, and got different figures and “half” is just a generalization. On my own machine (XP1800+ with a GF3) it’s in the neighborhood of 100fps to 50fps.
