What do you get in glxgears?

/ looks at Fackamato's numbers and wishes for better video card.

I'm getting 2895.000 FPS as I type this in Arch64 w/ kernel agpgart and custom 64-bit kernel.

Hello Mico,

I read your post from glxgears:

NVidia GeForce 2 MX 400, 64 MB
Code:
$ glxgears
3495 frames in 5.0 seconds = 699.000 FPS
4013 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.600 FPS
4013 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.600 FPS
4012 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.400 FPS
4013 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.600 FPS
4013 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.600 FPS
4012 frames in 5.0 seconds = 802.400 FPS

I have NVidia GeForce 2 MX 400, 64 MB too, but my glxgears results is very low:

1270 frames in 5.0 seconds = 253.929 FPS
1292 frames in 5.0 seconds = 258.250 FPS
1348 frames in 5.0 seconds = 269.588 FPS
948 frames in 5.0 seconds = 189.594 FPS
1329 frames in 5.0 seconds = 265.655 FPS
1322 frames in 5.0 seconds = 264.146 FPS

What cpu do you have? I have a Pentium III 733.

Regards.

mico · 2006-08-04 21:17:21

Hi yoburtu,

I have Pentium4 1.60GHz

Do you have the nvidia driver properly installed? I installed it simply with

init 3
pacman -S nvidia

Before you install it, you must not be in X mode ("init 3" from console mode)

Which driver are you using in section "Device" of /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If it is nv, then change it to nvidia.

And check the "Module" section. This is what I have:

Section "Module"
        Load  "ddc"  # ddc probing of monitor
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "bitmap" # bitmap-fonts
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "record"
EndSection

Also, section "DRI" should not be there or should be commented out.

Remember to restart X after you make changes to xorg.conf.

I hope this helps.

I use GL O.B.S. version 0.1 and I think I have not bad results for my ATI Radeon if you compare with ATI fglrx drivers which I had before:

With Xorg 7.0, KDE 3.5.1 and ATI drivers 8.23 I had:

GL_shadow: doesn't work
GL_pointz 441.2
GL_blit 915.6
Fake 351609.4
GL_blit_ext doesn't work
GL_smoke 392.2

But now on Xorg 7.1, KDE 3.5.4 and Mesa drivers I have:

I have an Arch Linux, Xorg 7.0, KDE 3.5.1 and I use ATI drivers 8.23.
My ATI Radeon 9000 shows:

GL_shadow: doesn't work
GL_pointz 386.2
GL_blit 1607.8
Fake 882421.2
GL_blit_ext 1583.8
GL_smoke 517.4

GL_shadow doesn't work still.

Brand new Core 2 Duo 6600 machine with Nvidia 7600GS /256MB:, with xorg 7.1 and the nvidia beta 9625 driver (results are quite close with the stable driver as well):

45963 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9192.528 FPS
45913 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9182.495 FPS
45972 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9194.315 FPS
45973 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9194.558 FPS
45970 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9193.864 FPS
45977 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9195.356 FPS
45978 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9195.477 FPS
45967 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9193.365 FPS
45959 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9191.737 FPS
45473 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9094.580 FPS
45988 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9197.552 FPS
45992 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9198.339 FPS

However, with the window minimized it goes well over 14.000 fps, while if run after an OpenGL screensaver was activated it drops to 60 (yes, sixty...) fps.
Verdict is: glxgears is absolutely unreliable.

chrismortimore · 2006-10-20 15:46:58

6600GT gets ~12000fps

I can't seem to get glxgears to run, all I get is the help:

$ glxgears
Usage:
-display <displayname> set the display to run on
-stereo run in stereo mode
-fullscreen run in fullscreen mode
-info display OpenGL renderer info

I've tried localhost:0, local:0, 0 for display, but it just gives me the help. Anyone have any ideas what I need to to to get it running? I'm using 64-bit Arch and have the Nvidia drivers installed and working.

noriko · 2006-11-26 12:15:29

comparing glxgears output against other's is somewhat, umm .. unrealiable[?]

because, i can make output well, see below:

46945 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9334.347 FPS
30154 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6030.780 FPS
17136 frames in 5.1 seconds = 3337.054 FPS

982 frames in 5.0 seconds = 196.340 FPS
33045 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6608.928 FPS
18340 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3667.799 FPS
29719 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5943.799 FPS
62000 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12399.881 FPS
62278 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12455.523 FPS
61599 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12319.792 FPS
16948 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3388.499 FPS

reason for this variation?
well it's simple, it depeends on what size the glxgears window is, if there are otehr windows around, how many things are moving on teh screen, how much color is on the screen, ...

my specs :

XFX (GeForce Fx) 5200, 256mb vram.
1280x1024 @60hz
AMD Athlon XP-M 2800 @ 1.2-1.6 Ghz (auto adjust)

Running with pacman downloading stuff with the command "pacman -Syu --noconfirm", firefox looking at this thread, and a DVD playing in Kaffeine, and on the default window size:

56191 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11238.166 FPS
55499 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11099.747 FPS

I would have thought using XV would take it down a bit really...
