Downloaded the latest nvidia driver last night. (100.14.09) RPMs from the Nvidia repo. Installed OK, but, GLXgears shows only about 2900 FPS. Shouldn't it be much faster? I get the nvidia spalsh at bootup amd my xorg.conf shows nvidia as the driver.
2900 fps? wow, wish I could get that many. If you were using the plain old frame buffer you'd be lucky to get a few hundred FPS on glxgears.
Well yeah, butthe gears were in that little box. When I go full screen it drops to about 200 FPS. The previous driver used to whip those gears so fast you couldn't see the cogs. Don't remember the numbers.
I wonder if maybe there was a change in glxgears. At some point... I think around the release of 10.2, I noticed that glxgears changed visually from a blur to a much slower display. At first I thought my video card was not set up correctly, but the terminal output seems to be right. 19862 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3972.378 FPS If I go full screen (1680x1050) with it, it slows down significantly 1500 frames in 5.0 seconds = 299.848 FPS (this is with the latest nVidia drivers on a 7600GS) C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
