Intel Corporation 82865G graphic card - 160fps in glxgears

greengold · 2010-07-22 20:40:16

Again Im here ((:
as topis says my grafhic card Intel Corporation 82865G is running on 160fps in glxgears...
installation looked like this :

pacman -S xf86-video-intel

gpasswd -a username video

and result:

$ glxgears 
731 frames in 5.0 seconds = 145.987 FPS
711 frames in 5.0 seconds = 142.138 FPS
709 frames in 5.0 seconds = 141.796 FPS
724 frames in 5.0 seconds = 144.790 FPS

$ glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

I know that glxgears should not be used as performance test, but this is really disappointing... In last arch instalation I was getting around 250 and whan I boot into ubuntu 7.04 live cd its around 300fps... something must be wrong!

can someone give me a hand?
thanks

Different drivers (versions)?

Does it look nice and plays smooth? Is the interface responsive?

greengold · 2010-07-22 20:48:59

and which drivers are also available?
I did have this one before...
and yeah,it looks all right..

> and which drivers are also available?
A couple you can find in AUR.

I don't know how much mesa etc. mess with the performance so I can't really help you.

greengold · 2010-07-22 21:31:26

I have tried :
intel-dri-git 20100130-1
xf86-video-intel-newest 2.12.0-1
xf86-video-intel-git 20100110-1
..from AUR but still getting 160fps...
Whats wrong with that?! is it really so weak GPU?

karol · 2010-07-22 21:33:53

I've heard that glxgears is not a benchmark - that's why I asked you is it working OK.

greengold · 2010-07-22 22:19:45

so tell me how can I figure out if its all right?
even flash movie isnt playing continuously and windows are swlower than cursor when moving

karol · 2010-07-22 22:24:20

I use dwm so I don't really have any windows. I don't watch much flash, I prefer to download and watch from my disk.

Of course it is a solution - if you say it is. I do, I pick my fights and this is not one. Not yet.

This is my onboard card, an earlier / weaker model wrt yours I suppose.
I paid $100 for the whole computer - IMHO good value for money.

greengold · 2010-07-22 22:52:22

but I didnt, and with all respect I do not think you're right!
so is here anyone who can halp me make thinks better?

greengold · 2010-07-29 11:25:58

I have done a little research and I find out that slow performance is caused by using legacy EXA not UXA which is still developing... but it was for 2.6.28 kernel so I dont know how it is in last stable kernel 2.6.34.1.
For now I found an utility called DriConf. This helped me configure 3D acc and things are now bit better.
Does anyone knows something more about how UXA,EXA,GEM works?

Gusar · 2010-07-29 11:52:43

Intel driver only uses UXA, everything else was removed a few versions ago. And glxgears really is not a benchmark, those numbers are meaningless. The question is, does everything work ok, or does it work slower than it used to?

I've already asked him about it

after some configurations in DriConf ,Quake 3 is playable so its the best solution for now..
