Getting better perfomance out of my nVidia card.
I've been trying to tune my nVidia car a bit to get a better frame rate out of it - I am sure I can get it runnign faster. I've done some digging, and people mention frame rates much much higher than the maximum I've ever been able to get... Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to maximize the performance? This is about the absolute best I can get with glxgears: ---------------------------------- 2990 frames in 5.0 seconds = 598.000 FPS 3107 frames in 5.0 seconds = 621.400 FPS 3278 frames in 5.0 seconds = 655.600 FPS 3347 frames in 5.0 seconds = 669.400 FPS 3270 frames in 5.0 seconds = 654.000 FPS 3145 frames in 5.0 seconds = 629.000 FPS Hardware: -------------------- Card = nVidia FX5200 CPU = 2.2GHz Celeron RAM = 640MB OS = SUSE 10.0
