There's an improved graphics/dri port in the Graphics team development
ports tree which offers an option to set --enable-texture-float. We're
currently discussing the default state of this option (this option is
enabled in binary package from other Linux distributions, such as Debian
or Fedora).

Maybe the game enabled more features with your HD 4850 compared to your
X700, and this caused a drop in FPS? I don't know :)

Thank you for the report!
