Since we're all Ubuntu Linux fans here and I am sure there are some that enjoy PC gaming and would like to see more Linux ports of our favorite games, I thought it might be fun to start a benchmarking thread in the hope that we can share tips and tricks (and bragging rights) on making our favorite platform even more capable.

And for the record, I like to tweak my system but tend to lean towards the conservative side. Better to be safe than sorry :)

So here goes:

My glxgears score: 8,345 FPS

My System-
AMD Athlon 3200+ Winchester - clocked at 2.2Ghz (220 HTT)
MSI Neo 2 Platinum Ultra motherboard, Nforce 3.
MSI Nvidia 6600GT AGP, coolbits enabled, core 535Mhz, memory 1148
1 GB Kingston HyperX
200 GB Sata 1

So who can beat this, what are your specs and what tweaks did you do that others might benefit from. Come on, don't be shy!

Wouldn't have thought that my aged system competes so well!

I made just some minor tweaks that shouldn't help much here (swappiness=25, activated 32bit-DMA-mode for harddrive,...).

Damn, I'm only getting around 5000-6000 on an X800pro. Something's off. Oh well.

(and I'd be happier if I could get it to fix at 70fps via Vsync...)

You should get more jzke .. are you sure glx is loaded in xorg? Check the xorg.conf .. mine jumped from 4500 to 7500 or so.

I get about 4700.

Athlon XP 2500+
GeForce4 Ti4800 w/ 128 MB RAM
1 GB PC3200 RAM

I can also cheat and get my score up to about 13.2k if I hide the gears behind my konsole window... ;-)

Laptop:

1,7 Ghz Centrino
512 MB RAM
ATi Radeon Mobility 9700 Pro

I score around 1300 frames per second with the driver from the Ubuntu repositories. With the latest graphics driver installed (followed a guide posted elsewhere on this forum) I get about 2000. A major improvement, but it just shows ATi's Linux drivers still has a long way to go...

oritpro

Ha, that's a good one. I guess I should've stated that the output must not be hidden behind another window. [-X :)

It's interesting to see the different scores across different and similiar hardware combinations though.

One thing I've noticed is that if you don't completely clear out the old driver before installing the new one, you will suffer performance degradation and possible a non working driver in OpenGL mode.

We need a driverclean package for Linux!

I get about 4700.

Don't know what that wierd jump is... Although my dmesg for some strange reason shows

[drm] Initialized i915 1.2.0 20040405 on minor 1: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (#2)

No idea what that is all about - two devices? And I'm buggered if I know how much video ram I have... I seem to remember something about 64megs, but not sure...

Have uninstalled captive and reinstalled the Nvidia driver from their website. Are there any opimizations I need to make in the xorg.conf file?

BUT, normally I run Xorg with nv instead of nvidia, I rarely play games now, and I hate those random lockups, that nothing seems to fix.

If you move your mouse around or do anything on the computer glxgears will not compute correctly. Don't do anything on your computer and don't look at the first couple numbers.

Pretty stable. Not as fast as I would like, but better than a few days ago... I just got fglrx working yesterday and so ATI decided to release a new driver today. I really want to try it out, but I am also enjoying the fact that everything's working right now.

What to do, what to do??? Risk breaking it to make it faster or just sit on something that works... I just can't decide!

when u say cs1.6 at 175 fps, is it the highest at 175 or is stable at 175 ? im assuming that ure using developer 1 command rite ? i tried playing cs via cedega and the fps is not great.. its playable, but for a serious gamer like myself, id rather play in M$ (thats why i have it around for anyways). is there any additional settings that u make in cedega ? im using nv 6600gt and im hoping for a solid 99fps as i would get in windows.. in cedega, im getting 99 when theres nobody, but when it gets a bit crowded, it will go to as low as 50 which is bad! please share any additional settings in cedega if u have.. thanks..

um how can i put this nicely

why the hell are you using AGP 4x?

change your bios to 8x

either that or looking at your score its not being detected properly as its within 1000 fps as mine and you have the newer version of the drivers which i to noob to figure out how to install.

basically check that you have it set up right i guess.

can anyone point me to a step by step on how to get the drivers installed - assume i know nothing about how to get ti installed.

What if he cannot change it up to 8x in the BIOS? In my case I've a TI4200 AGP8x, but as it seems my BIOS only supports 4x. Is the fps difference that significant between 4x and 8x?

this is true in this case and done my research and yes your correct his motherboard only supports 4x AGP

however he is using a motherboard from 2002 yet has a top of the line GFX card i suggest he shells out $100 or so and buys him self a nice new motherboard better suited to his nice GFX

well u bring up a very interesting point. As I'm at the moment having a TI4200 AGP 8x with a Mainboard which is at least 2 years old (only AGP 4x).

I'm also considering to buy a new graphiccard.

When I should also buy a new mainboard, it raises the quesiton, why not also a new cpu, etc etc etc....finally a new computer ;-)

to be serious, is it that bad to have an old mainboard (which still works fine) and then having a 6600GT graphic card?

When buying a Mainboard, then I should perhaps change to a PCI-E System!

I'm no longer up to date with the hardware stuff, what should I then all change in my computer. I'm having a AMD Athlon XP 2200 and 1GB RAM

In general the hardware is sufficiant for my needs, only gaming is a bit a problem

thanks

mentalinc,

Thanks for the tip on buying a new MB. The one I have is still sufficient for now.

My old PC has a nVidia 5700 in it and IIRC that gave similar results (it doens't have a monitor connected right now so I can't test it). I would consider your 5700 LE to be the bottle neck. :???:

However, glxgears is not a real benchmark and if your system runs your games ok and you're happy then it doesn't matter what glxgears says :)

Yep, ATI's drivers are crap, this thread proves it. I thought the ATI linux drivers were just hard to get running, i didn't realize that they were actually far inferior in performance to nVidia's.

Another way to increase is to cut your color to 16 bit instead of 24/32, that is why MEPIS seemed to run faster than UBUNTU on one of my machines, its (MEPIS's)XFREE86 defaulted to 16 bit instead of the 24 I had running on Xorg in Ubuntu.

This is also why when some upgrading from warty to hoary had a decrease in FPS, the 16 to 24/32 bit color

NVidia have always supported OpenGL better then ATI.
And IIRC, NVidia hardware is optimized for OpenGL applications, or favours them, something like that. (It's not -just- drivers)

Personally, I prefer OpenGL over DeflunkedX, Every issue I've had with Linux and graphics has been with my config, in Windblows I get DeflunkedX and config issues.

This is at a color depth setting of 16 and the desktop still looks ok.
Is this ok to play most games with a 64meg requirment?

Finaly got around to loading Xfce windows enviorment to check it out for game launching and game performance.

Gnome 791fps
Xfce4 795fps

On an up note I found the fps to be more consistant in Xfce4. After I install a few games im going to see if they run better in Xfce4 as for some odd reason a low requirement game is unplayable in gnome. Recomend 800ghz "mine 1.6ghz." Also notices my frame rate drops drasticly with odd heavy firewall activity and I mean a huge drop maybe thats why my low end games are unplayable. Anyways Xfce4 may help people with slower systems for game launching just have to log out and log in under Xfce. Also a footnote Xfce has a small footprint 60 megs download and 100meg install I think and it aint all that bad I expected a lot less from it..

Using the latest ati-driver-installer-8.14.13 for drivers. When I used the apt-get ones I think i was only getting like 1500 or so...

Been using the original unreal as a testbed for cedega, shame it runs a bit sluggish in wide open spaces :-( runs great in windows (well it is an old game afterall!)

I like using linux/kubuntu as an alternative to windows. but next time i get a computer, its going to have nvidia inside ;-)

I tried to update my nvidia drivers to 7667 .... after it broke X and I got it all put back together, I'm now getting sub 500 fps ](*,)

and I can't use nvidia drivers at all
have to use nv in xorg.conf or X doesn't even start

update ... got the new driver installed after all ... I found in another article somewhere (linked from this forum) that informed me I had to remove the restricted kernel modules along with the previous nvidia packages in synaptic prior to installing the downloaded script ... its all good now

back over 1000 fps again `1200 ... minimal gain for all that work :roll:

It's doing it because your graphics card doesn't have to reneder the gears onscreen. The operations to render the screen is a lot simpler without moving gears ;)

I think I'll be gaming in Fluxbox :roll:

I'm running KDE and I also see different glxgear behaviour which I think is window-manager related (see below).

I'm running all fps-critical games in a separate x-server though to have a separate gamma-settings for the game and because CTRL-ALT-F7 / CTRL-ALT-F8 is a conveinent way to switch from/to the desktop. I also usually run a less resource-hungry WM/desktop in combination with games (ion3). I think i'll try fluxbox though :)

GeForce FX 5700 LE
Driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg1.run
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ ( 1837.387 mhz)
1Gb DDR333

In konsole in KDE (from a fresh KDE start, no manually started applications except konsole/glxgears):

$ glxgears
11448 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2289.600 FPS
11535 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2307.000 FPS
11536 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2307.200 FPS
11407 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2281.400 FPS
11536 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2307.200 FPS

If I run glxgears on a fresh x server (no window manager) I get better results

CTRL-ALT-F2 + login as user
$ echo >gogears "xterm -geometry 80x24+320+0"
$ chmod a+x gogears
$ xinit ./gogears -- :1 vt8

$ glxgears
11536 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2307.200 FPS
11734 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2346.800 FPS
11734 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2346.800 FPS
11735 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2347.000 FPS
11735 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2347.000 FPS

Logging out of KDE and killing kdm ( /etc/init.d/kdm stop ) didn't help (stable fps at 2347) . So my guess is that it is the window-manager that is stealing the performance.

For some reason I was unable to run the X-server as a user from within KDE. but starting with sudo here gave not stable results despite new x-server.
<from KDE-konsole> $ sudo xinit ./gogears -- :1 vt8

# glxgears
11291 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2258.200 FPS
11366 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2273.200 FPS
11428 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2285.600 FPS
11494 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2298.800 FPS

Exiting this x-server I saw that the konsole was outputing things in the terminal window, so I guess these results are because of that.

From what I've seen nVidia cards seem to give hold a huge OpenGL advantage over ATi cards so I'm going to swap out. I can get a 6600 GT for under $200. Ubuntu has impressed me enough that it's become my everyday use OS so I'm in Linux 99% of the time.

Anyone want to share any horror stories about switching brands of cards? Anything I should be prepared to do besides the obvious? (uninstall fglrx first, etc.)

You were getting what I was when I was a 6600GT user. Be sure you're running the newest (7667) drivers, and you've follow some of the optimization threads. Specifically, check out the UT2004 one I wrote (HOWTO) on how to optimize your 6600 GT card. Not all sections will apply.

Well here is my first post on here...

I'm thinking mine may not be configured correctly. I ran glxgears just for fun and barely got over 1200.

Sys info then was and still is:
Athonlon XP 2000+
512 MB DDR RAM
FX5200 (4x)
ECS K7S5A (then Pro now normal) Motherboard.

I just ran it on a new install with the 7676 drive and got around 1364 if memory serves.

What am I doing wrong or is that what I should be seeing?

Well, considering my machine has the following:
X800 XL card
AMD 3500+
2 gb ram
it looks like these numbers pretty much suck:

5500 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1100.000 FPS
6424 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1284.800 FPS
5221 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1044.200 FPS
6384 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1276.800 FPS
6398 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1279.600 FPS
6408 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1281.600 FPS
6383 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1276.600 FPS

I finally got rid of the Mesa drivers info:
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON X800 XL Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.5272 (X4.3.0-8.16.20)

To repeat the mantra of those with puny numbers like mine, what tweaks/actions can we take to get better results?

Don't get me wrong-- I love Vsync and ALWAYS have it enabled in games (in Windows--- it won't work on ATI in Linux as far as I can tell.:mad: ) However, the one time i would turn off vsync is for any type of framerate test, as it will completely mess it up as it caps your framerate.

Hmmm, no agp... but it's an agp card... must install drivers, eh? well, how easy is that? Not easy at all, and I'm afraid to mess with going to the command prompt again. I got stuck in "no-x server-ville" earlier and had to reinstall ubuntu, so unless I can install the nvidia drivers without going to the command line, I'm kinda thinking maybe I'm stuck with windows. Which is unacceptable.

So I get all synaptic and try installing everything that says xlib and or xfree, but there's no making XFree86-DRI show up. I then go to check on Nvidia drivers, nope a bunch missing. So I get all synaptic on them, too. And I get this error:

So ah, shoot. What now? How can I get nvidia-glx to install in synaptic?

I really really really want to get unreal tournament playing at higher than 2 fps!!!

Ps: I got y'all beat! :grin:

I have a similar system, Celeron, 450Mhz, 128megs RAM, Voodoo3. Just put ubunto onto it to dual boot with Windows98. Get the same error messages and similar speeds. After tweaking down the color depth to 16 and screen resolution to 1024x768, it doubled my glxgears speed from 50 to 107!! Wooo hoo! My x11 log file confirms it is using DRI.

So, you still have me beat. Was going to ask if my speed was as good as it gets on such an old system, and I guess it is. Older 3d games are quite playable on this in Win98, but not on Ubuntu -- I assume the tdfx driver doesn't take full advantage of the card? I guess I can quit fiddling, and work harder on convincing the wife to let me buy a new, but bare bones, Linux box for Ubuntu. I had a hard time believing this was as good as it could be, given how much better the card works in Win98 :confused:

Tried the glx driver as an option, but it didn't find the screen. Oddly, on a different Linux debian distribution, this used to work -- until I got a new monitor -- which even broke the live CD (mepis) that used to work with my old monitor. But I didn't know enough then how to do the speed tests then. My new monitor has a very long plug and play name, and I wonder if that is confusing glx -- it seems to find the Voodoo3 card fine, but then barfs on no default display. Odd. Will try a different monitor one of these days. Amazing that replacing a monitor can make a live CD not work ...

I also have ubunto on an old laptop, also dual booted, with an ATI graphics chip -- glxgears gets around 2500 on that.

70747 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14149.257 FPS
70743 frames in 5.0 seconds = 14148.538 FPS

Then after I activated the gears window:

40823 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8164.597 FPS
40833 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8166.589 FPS
40823 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8164.479 FPS

Interesting that you have to highlight the window to get accurate results.. Also resolution affects the rate. Wish glxgears was less influenceable but still very handy.
(All on 1280x1024)

Also freezes old ATI based laptop when window is dragged. Only 326 FPS there.

Is there some other way to find out my fps?
For some strange reason glxgears doesn't display
the fsp readout in the terminal, but otherwise it seems
to be working properly.

Im getting no ouput at all from glxgears in my terminal.

:( something is VERY off here :???:

21374 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4274.768 FPS

got 8300~ in gentoo

AMD64 3500+
1024MB PC3700
6600GT 128MB PCIE

any ideas? everything seems to be ok tried many drivers, the ones in repository seems to be working best 1.0.7667

edit: typo :p

edit2:

after trying 3 different ubuntu kernels and 3 different nvidia drivers and never getting above 4200~ fps i decided to try something different ;)

what i did was i copied my gentoo kernel over to my ubuntu install and reinstalled nvidia-kernel & nvidia-glx and ended up with this :p

37070 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7413.948 FPS

not the same as iv'e had earlier, but it should suffice for the moment ;)

Hello!

My hardware:
Abit KN8 SLI
AMD64 4000+
OCZ DIMM 1 GB DDR-400 Platinum EL
NVIDIA 6600 GT, PCIe, 256 MB
Samsung SP2504C, SATA II

My software:
Ubuntu 5.10, 32bit
nvidia-glx 1.07667
kernel 2.6.12-9-386

glxgears:
30007 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6001.321 FPS
30023 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6004.540 FPS
30025 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6004.876 FPS

After the installation of nvidia-glx, glxgears showed about 6.000 FPS. :(

Because of tv-out, I've modified my xorg.conf. One restart later, glxgears showed about 11.000 FPS! :D

After another restart, I've the same low rate as before. 6.000 FPS! :confused:

Few days before, I had installed SUSE Linux 10.0 Evaluation. Started glxgears. And the tooth wheels turned very fast (don't remember FPS) compared to Ubuntu (can count every tooth of the wheels).

Does anybody have an idea how to modify Ubuntu for better (best) results? I don't want to run Win XP parallel!

THX for your help!

P.S. CSS via Wine 0.9.2 showes only DirectX 6 (hardware) and DirectX 9 (software).

AMD Athlon 2500+

Built in Via UNICHROME video on Gigabyte GA-7VM400M motherboard.

Hmm, because my video shares system RAM, the performance varies greatly depending on how much of the glxgears graphic is actually on the screen!

When it is fully visible, it drops to 2871 frames in 5.0 seconds = 574.170 FPS!!

Lowering my Refresh rate also increases my FPS..........

Still, it is nicer to have hardware acceleration on my Via chipset than not have it......

Just another little thing I have found, I could increase my glxgears rate by changing my colour depth (in /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf) from 24 to 16.

I get a ~40% increase, and my display doesn't look that different (to me).

Less data to write to the video card means less time to do it........

I have noticed something strange about glxgears... with kubuntu 5.04 it will report the FPS in the terminal.....Giving me around 9k-10k FPS (This is after I get openGL acceleration working of course) and with 5.10 I am unable to get it to report the FPS!? Why is this?

I have a Dell Presicion M70 2.0Ghz Pentium M 2MB L2 and a Nvidia quadro go1400 256MB.... KDE 3.5 and Breezy Badger 5.10... Kernel revision 2.6.12-10-386. Any ideas on how I can get the FPS to show up? I've let it sit there indefinitely and it never shows anything :( :-k
