what's your fgl_glxgears output

[Delerium]

hey!

I have installed the ATI driver (fglrx) and I was wondering if my performance are acceptable: here's the output of fgl_glxgears on a Radeon 9600XT

root@hardwired:~ # fgl_glxgears
1396 frames in 5.0 seconds = 279.200 FPS
1905 frames in 5.0 seconds = 381.000 FPS
1979 frames in 5.0 seconds = 395.800 FPS
1905 frames in 5.0 seconds = 381.000 FPS

1912 frames in 5.0 seconds = 382.400 FPS
1904 frames in 5.0 seconds = 380.800 FPS

What's yours? Thanks!

ati radeon 9200 se.

I think there is nothing wrong on your drivers.

oh yeah ownage i have a nvidia geforce fx 5200 128 mb pci
i dont know what the jump to 3000 is about though it went back down shortly after

Looks like you don't have GFX drivers installed. What do you have on your desktop? An Nvidia card or a Radeon card?

[killerflo]

ok,

fgl driver is installed

Heh, I guess this is proof that the nVIDIA drivers are somewhat more stable and optimized than the fgl drivers.

My output using a Radeon 9800 pro:

$ fgl_glxgears
2950 frames in 5.0 seconds = 590.000 FPS
3067 frames in 5.0 seconds = 613.400 FPS
3084 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.800 FPS

$ glxgears
13258 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2651.600 FPS
15717 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3143.400 FPS
15089 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3017.800 FPS

I'm a bit amazed that there is such a great difference between the cards.

[jdong]

NOTE: I'm an NVIDIA fan, not an ATI fan. This statement, nonetheless, is unbiased.


Guys, glxgears is NOT a video card benchmark of any sort. Especially since you're comparing apples to oranges (two different glxgears implementations).


glxgears is only good for checking if X's GLX extension is installed properly. It's good for making sure OpenGL doesn't crash the system, and for comparing orders of magnitude (30fps vs 3000fps: the first case, 3d drivers aren't installed correctly). glxgears does NOT give reliable measurement of a video card's performance compared to another. Not even with repeated sampling (*). A good rule of thumb is, if you have an ATI or NVidia card and aren't getting >=1000fps with glxgears, you configured something wrong (does NOT apply to fgl_glxgears). If you have another DRI-accelerated card (like the Intel Extremes) and are not getting in the 300-1000 range, you did something wrong. Else, you're fine.

Use something more substantial for benchmarking, whether it's a Doom3 demo or Supertux :).

(*) For the statistically inclined and curious, plot 20 consecutive glxgears outputs on a histogram, then tell me if it looks remotely normal enough to warrant t/z procedures. If you're gonna argue CLS, have fun watching glxgears for 6 hours! LOL :D

Same as mine

But the truth is:

NVIDIA > ATI @ linux drivers..

I m gonna sell my 9800pro and buy a 6600GT.. almost the same price and far better ](*,)

[Curlydave]

I've got you guys beat:

[Curlydave]

Bah, I'm giving up on the new drivers. Here's the stock driver output:

Btw, if I move my terminal window in front of the output, the framerate shoots into the thousands. Dunno why.

the big jump was when I dragged the konsole window over the glxgears window... :smile:

I think that's the end of the subject as I've just shown how fixable the output can be even with the default window.

ok for those using an nvidia card fgl_glxgears WILL GIVE YOU INCORRECT OUTPUT becasue it is made to work with the the fglrx drivers NOT THE NIVIDIA drivers but any way w/ my ati x1650 pro card i get around 1500 fps in my slackware machine w/ fgl_glxgears normal glxgears gives me about 5000 fps
