I have pretty low glxgears results...

I figured this was the appropriate section of the forum, since this is X11 related.

I have an Nvidia GeForce 8300 GS w/512MB memory.

Here is part of my xorg.conf:

...

Section "Module"
    #Load  "GLcore"
    Load  "dbe"
    #Load  "dri"
    Load  "extmod"
    Load  "glx"
    #Load  "record"
    Load  "xtrap"
    Load  "freetype"
       SubSection  "extmod"
         Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
       EndSubSection

EndSection

...
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "Monitor Model"
    Option          "DPMS" "True"
    HorizSync    30.0-130.0
    VertRefresh  50.0-100.0
EndSection

Section "Device"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
        ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
        ### [arg]: arg optional
        #Option     "SWcursor"               # [<bool>]

    Option        "RenderAccel"         "True"
    Option        "BackingStore"         "True"
    Option     "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts"     "True"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
    BoardName   "GeForce 8300 GS"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

And I'm getting around 920 FPS in glxgears. I googled "glxgears nvidia" and people were getting numbers that were 10 to 20 times higher than this. I've tried the nvidia 177 driver and the 180.08 beta and it was the same.

Re: I have pretty low glxgears results...

Any messsage when you do glxgear? Is direct rendering enabled?

$ glxinfo | grep direct

I think...

Is the user you're doing it on in your video group? As that user, do

$ group

*shrugs*

Something I pulled from the wiki.

If you experience slow 3D Performance have a look at /usr/lib/libGL.so.1, /usr/lib/libGL.so, /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 Perhaps they are wrong linked to mesa or something else. Try reinstalling with pacman -S nvidia.

Looked at that, right? If not, there is a lot of information possibilities of poor performance that you should check out.

Re: I have pretty low glxgears results...

Direct rendering is enabled and I am part of the video group. I've also reinstalled the driver several times.

Any other guesses? Thanks.
