You wanna be *really* impressed with how fast your card is? :-)
When running glxgears, minimise it and let it run for a minute or so. Boy, ain't your card the fastest one on the block! :-) .
Cheers.

Interestingly enough, resizing the window smaller actually runs faster than minimized! I guess if you demand high frame rates from glxgears, just size the window as small as it will go (till gears are just couple of mm in diameter)

<-------- Smallest Window ---------> 31087 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6217.303 FPS 32454 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6490.670 FPS 33724 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6744.711 FPS 32738 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6547.488 FPS
[pruned] This could turn into a new Linux fad :-) . I get 15522 fps with the smallest window, but!....... then try to minimise this smallest window :-) . Doing this I now get 15805 fps. Statistics! Who needs them? :-) As my father used to tell me, "Statistics work great. For example, if I have a chicken and you have no chicken, statistics will show that we have half a chicken each so we just CANNOT go hungry". (BTW, you will get different results, even in normal mode, when you reposition the gears window on the screen.) Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
