glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

Hello

I have a strange problem when I try to use glxgears to see how much fps I have... Because I only have around 60 fps, with the free ati drivers and a radeon mobility x600 with 64 MB of vram.

Here is the glxgears output:

300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.839 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.816 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.816 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.816 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.816 FPS

And here, mi xorg.conf:

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

Thanks for posting, and help.

There is the most strange thing:

[phyrok@Odin ~]$ glxinfo|grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

I never had problems of indirect rending since I at least get direct... I wonder that could be...

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

Ok, I know very little about ATi, however, I am confused. AFAIK AIGLX is indirect rendering, and you are getting direct.
Maybe try disabling GLCore?

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

I made these right now, and still I have exactly the same fps always (59.816) I thinking that maybe any option is limiting the max fps (sorry for my very very poor english)

Also I followed the two wiki pages, as you can see on the xorg.xonf, and review the file right now, and there is nothing strange to me... As I said before, maybe any fps limiting option? Thanks for the help.

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

I am thinking the culprit might be something here:

# disable/enable XAA/DRI
#       Option      "no_accel" "on"
        Option      "no_dri"  "off"
# misc DRI settings
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option      "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "on"
    Option      "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
    Option      "FSAAEnable" "off"
    Option      "FSAAScale" "0"
    Option      "DRI"     "true"
    Option      "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
# AIGLX
        Option "AGPMode" "4"
        Option "ColorTiling" "on"
        Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"  # Off if X down
        Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
        Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes" # Off if X down

I have any ATI card with basically the same video options as you. I duplicated yours, and it did slow down my fps by about 200, but I was still getting around 1000 and something which is a lot more than what you are getting. This is my video card section:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "fglrx"
    VendorName  "All"
    BoardName   "All"
       Option      "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
       Option      "DRI"     "true"
EndSection

Other than that, our configs are exactly the same. And I get about 1300 FPS. Maybe try clipping off some of those settings, and see if things improve any.

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

ph0tios, thank for helping.

I commented all the extra options of my xorg.conf, resulting a file that was the same as yours, at least on the device section part, and I still have the same problem, even I edited my whole xorg.conf, and nothing... But I suppose that we have a xorg.conf very similar. This is my actual xorg:

As I said, I still have exactly 59.816 fps... There are any option of the xorg.conf that mean something like "I don't wanna an fps limit"? This is too strange. I think to that maybe it's a simple bug...

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

It looks to me like you've got vsync on or something - it's synchronizing your FPS to the sync rate of your monitor - ie. 60Hz.  Not sure how to disable that though.

Why's it such a big deal?  Are you noticing games or other 3d apps having trouble rendering, or is it just the numbers that bother you?

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

Thanks for posting Cerebral.

I think too that it's something like that... Even actually my sync rate is 60Hz.

The only problem are the numbers... really I don't worry very much about it... I not play games on linux, and the only thing that I see, is that the GL screensavers, like kcometen3, or planet GL, don't move very well... About 1 or 2 fps big_smile

Compiz-fusions works greats for me, but I remember that when I used the proprietary drivers, I have at least 1200 fps. A lot of thanks for helping, I'll keep reading the man page of the xorg.xonf to disable vsync.

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

Do the open source drivers run better with compiz fusion? I am using the proprietary ATI driver, and sometimes I get this ugly diagonal cut through images/video.

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

@ph0tios, I don't use very much compiz, but all the times that I've started it, It worked very fine to me, his benckmarck gives me around 60 fps, even when the cube is displayed, and the videos works well too.

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

$ sudo pacman -S driconf
or
# pacman -S driconf
$ driconf

and in driconf find the setting for Vertical Sync, though disabling it shouldn't really give you any performance boost. just make your screen a bit more flickery but higher FPS at no real gain XD

Re: glxgears output too low (about 60 fps)

I know this is old, but for the record, with my machine I noticed that once I disabled KMS, glxgears went from 60fps to 770fps. It was having issues with KMS other than 60fps maximum.

This is expected behaviour: it get's to the monitor's refresh rate
