Hi,
I am getting really slow response with 3d applications. I just tried glxgears and am not getting any more than 3 fps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I thought this was originally a separate issue to nvidia, original post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 47#p690547

By your setup it would seem you have 2 nvidia 6200 cards. Is that true? Your xorg.conf looks really messed up to me. Do you use xinerama and twinview? (two monitors).
What is the output of glxinfo | grep direct
Have you tried running without xorg.conf

nvidia won't even start without xorg.conf as I remember.) But I heard, that SLI is not that fast on linux, but it would be better. Anyway step out of X, terminate it, and run nvidia-xconfig. Maybe you'll want to check some arguments on manual pages
Offline
thanks for the responses.
@Dheart;
My xorg has 2 of everything cause I run 2 X servers through just one nvidia 6200 graphics card. 1 is for a 17" crt monitor running 1280x1024 & the 2nd is for a 28" crt tele running a much smaller res (arounf 968x600 ish)
The output of glxinfo | grep direct is ;
direct rendering: Yes
GL_EXT_direct_state_access, GL_EXT_draw_range_elements, GL_EXT_fog_coord,
I have already checked that.
@Vegita;
X and Nvidia dont actually need an xorg.conf to run. if the config file is missing, nvidia just runs a default for the hardware that it detects. I was hoping to manually change thing in the file as opposed to regenerating it, but i might just give it a go.

hmmmm, last time i played with xorg, it used to work fine without an xorg.conf not now though! I tried without an xorg, no joy, x wouldnt star, so rm'ed my xorg n regenerated it with nvidia-xconfig, restarted x, then tested glxgears again. getting the exact same fps!
the xorg that was generated by nvidia-xconfig was;

What I did with my install was (as root):
Xorg -configure
then cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and after this I used nvidia-xconfig utility! I did it the same way on many other distros even. And for the very last: try with one nvidia card only.

@Vegita
I have only one nvidia card, I had just configured it to run 2 X servers. As you can see from the 2nd xorg.conf, I had re configured it as normal. Still no improvement. I will give your method a go later, by doing;
Xorg -configure
cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
nvidia-xconfig
and report back the result. thanks

followed this to a 't' as below;

and it produced the following xorg.conf;

which then produced the following from glxgears;

Have you tried using an older or newer driver than those in the repo?

kinda, did some googling and think i found how to do that, but realy couldnt get it to work!!! first i tried with mirrors that hadn't been synced in the last 30 days or more. none of the servers could find the nvidia file, so i tried with the ARM mirror, tried a few different dates, but when i specified the nvidia i wanted, it wouldnt install, as it complained about missing dependancies!!!!

Download the drivers from NVIDIA's site and install manually.
Offline
not having any luck with this at all!! tried the NVIDIA site, no change, can't regress to the old driver as I can't find it anywhere! surely, there should be a fix for this without changing driver, or it should be a bug????? it doesnt make sense!!! arrrrgh!!
I am going to give the beta driver ago from AUR (195.30). Will post back the result!
Does anyone have any idea when the new stable driver will be released?? If I have no luck, I am gonna have to format and re-install arch!! sumin i don't wnna be doing! reminds me too much of window$!

my internet has been rubbish the last few days, so havent been able to change the driver. Just so you know what I am trying to do;
pacman -Rd nvidia nvidia-utils
yaourt -S nvidia-beta nvidia-utils-beta
this is so i dont have to remove the current nvidia and all the dependencies, just to reinstall them!! I dont think it should break anything, as it is just a straight swap.

ok, done! i have now replaced nvidia & nvidia-utils with nvidia-beta & nvidia-utils-beta
guess what? no change in fps on glxgears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please, could someone really help me track down what is causing such rubbish hardware acceleration please!
thanks

ok, i really have run out of ideas.
tried all of the following;
nvidia nvidia-utils
nvidia-96xx nvidia-96xx-utils
nvidia-173xx nvidia-173xx-utils
nvidia-beta nvidia-utils-beta
with each reboot, i did and checked the following;
[user@ArchLinux ~]$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
23 frames in 5.2 seconds = 4.424 FPS
22 frames in 5.1 seconds = 4.304 FPS
22 frames in 5.1 seconds = 4.293 FPS
22 frames in 5.1 seconds = 4.299 FPS
22 frames in 5.1 seconds = 4.295 FPS
22 frames in 5.2 seconds = 4.210 FPS
^C
[user@ArchLinux ~]$ glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
[user@ArchLinux ~]$
this result is the best i have had and was with the 96xx driver. Going to resort to a full reinstall I think. might go and have a little try at some new distros as well.
