Re: What do you get in glxgears?

Depends whether the window is in view, or hidden.

Normal size, hidden from view in XFCE4 behind the terminal window:  13,970
Normal size, in screen:  7,490

Full screen 1280x1024, nothing in front of it:  656
Full screen 1280x1024, hidden behind firefox etc:  1314

(Athlon64 3500+, 2GB ram, Nvidia 6600GT video card)

Re: What do you get in glxgears?

hmm..looks like I win so far..though my brother who has the same card on SLI would kick my ass( actually not too sure about this, cause SLI will be supported only in nvidia 8xxx which hasnt been released for linux yet..)

leadtek Geforce 7800GTX (non SLI) 1600x1200x24
(all these results are with the default window size)
71486 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14297.200 FPS
77835 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15567.000 FPS
77826 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15565.200 FPS
77337 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15467.400 FPS
77823 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15564.600 FPS
77830 frames in 5.0 seconds = 15566.000 FPS

Re: What do you get in glxgears?

I get a good speed from my Radeon 9700 Pro, but I cannot get the FPS because my PC locks up too quickly to get a reading out (using experimental open-source R300 driver from DRI )

Re: What do you get in glxgears?

Did you enable glx-with-composite (Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true")
in your xorg.conf? Otherwise, you won't get better numbers even with a 6800 Ultra as glxgears will run in software mode ...

Yes, it's enabled. I've tried a lot of different things to get this cards performance up, but it just doesn't happen. I run UT2004 on it at 800x600x32 and get about 40-60 FPS. *shrug* I think it's just because it's a $60 video card by a no-name company. My 6600 GT is by MSI, should beat the pants of this card.

That's weird ... but then, we might have got one of those "review 5200" which might have been higher clocked, hence the higher numbers ... happens often enough. Any more Geforce 5200 users here? What do you get in glxgears?

93,
-Sascha.rb

My FX 5200 does suck indeed It's a no-name kind of thingy and all I can say: it's crap. But, I don't need anything other than this

1280x1024 @ 85Hz 24-bit, no composite

4866 frames in 5.0 seconds = 973.200 FPS
4829 frames in 5.0 seconds = 965.800 FPS
4807 frames in 5.0 seconds = 961.400 FPS
4817 frames in 5.0 seconds = 963.400 FPS
4832 frames in 5.0 seconds = 966.400 FPS

Re: What do you get in glxgears?

$ glxgears
14006 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2801.200 FPS
14371 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2874.200 FPS
14241 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2848.200 FPS

14315 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2863.000 FPS
14476 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2895.200 FPS

default size on 1280x1024 (btw how do you get glxgears in full screen ?)

GeForce 6200 Turbo cache w/ 64MB onboard RAM, amd 3200 on Asrock Dual Sata2

I find it nice this 51€ GPU get scores =~ FX5700 & 6600LE

EDIT :
Another launch gave funny results

$ glxgears -info
13740 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2748.000 FPS

15980 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3196.000 FPS
14547 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2909.400 FPS
14532 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2906.400 FPS

EDIT2 :
framerate jump as soon as glxgears window (default size always) is in the background, i.e. behind xterm window :

$ glxgears
11465 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2293.000 FPS
16485 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3297.000 FPS
19075 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3815.000 FPS   <<< going behind

Re: What do you get in glxgears?

With my 9600 Pro and fglrx 8.20.8 I get

14179 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2835.800 FPS
14180 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2836.000 FPS
14178 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2835.600 FPS

when glxgears window isn't minimized. However, if I do minimize it I get

47770 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9554.000 FPS
47771 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9554.200 FPS
47747 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9549.400 FPS

glxgears is a poor benchmark, as previously stated.

Re: What do you get in glxgears?

I'm on an Athlon64 3000+ with the i686 kernel and a 6600GT 128MB PCIe board.

I run between 7500 and 11000.  If I hide the glxgears window behind the browser window I get almost 14000 FPS!  This could develop into a 1337 overclocking tool, leaving slashdot over half the screen when playing Doom3, and using bbkeys to move it around.
