In full screen mode, 1600x1200 at 24bpp, glxgears gets reduced to 55 FPS! This seems to be awfully slow, or is this normal for that card?
Well - it doesn't look *too* bad. Though if you had higher performance in fullscreen windows before, this is a regression.
I didn't had higher numbers before, this is the driver that I installed anew when I bought the 5200 last year. I know that this ain't no high-end card, and if that's a typical performance, so be
It is actually the lowest end card you can buy from NVIDIA right now. Maybe there are some GF4200MX400 left, that one could even be slower...
it. (My actual problem is more in movies video and audio are sometimes out-of-sync; and I thought that the performance might have something to do with it.)
It shouldn't. Are you using an XVideo or OpenGL output plugin? Movies have typically almost 24fps, so as long as you get more than 24fps in full screen OpenGL apps, this should be enough. Also both xine and mplayer tell you if your system is too slow for playing.
Since I cannot say if I really have degrading performance, I am reluctant to be the owner of that ticket; but I'm happy to provide test results if that helps.
Exactly.
Thanks
