Can I have your glxgears please ?

[MooPi]

I earlier posted in Hardware but recieved 0, as in zero responses. So I've brought my search here.
Just bought a new Nvidia 240 because the 9500 I originally installed had noise issues. I've run glxgears to get the frame rate:
9824 frames in 5.0 seconds
9136 frames in 5.0 seconds
7833 frames in 5.0 seconds
9959 frames in 5.0 seconds
9964 frames in 5.0 seconds
9975 frames in 5.0 seconds
9896 frames in 5.0 seconds
9973 frames in 5.0 seconds
9973 frames in 5.0 seconds

Was hoping to get some other glxgears results to compare:wink: Help an Ubuntu brother out.

glxgears is not a benchmark.
From man :
DESCRIPTION
The glxgears program is a port of the ``gears'' demo to GLX. It dis‐
plays a set of rotating gears and prints out the frame rate at regular
intervals. It has become quite popular as basic benchmarking tool.

A proper benchmark will bottleneck the device you're trying to test. glxgears will bottleneck on CPU (single core), with no guarantee that your GPU is sufficiently stressed.

If you were to somehow line up graphics cards mentioned in this thread so far with their respective glxgears output, you'd find anything but a linear correlation.

edit: Case in point. Shazaam claims over 55000 FP5S, and here's my output:


Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

Wouldn't any 3d app do the same? bottle neck on the cpu?

Wouldn't "any 3d app" be a more appropriate test for the capabilities of a graphics card than some spinning gears that occupy a fraction of your screen?

[swoll1980]

I have know idea. That's what I'm asking. If real 3d apps bottle neck on the cpu, wouldn't a test that bottle necks on the gpu be misleading?

I believe your confusing a benchmark with stess testing. A bench is just that a test that sets a similar standard to compare to other results. My Nvidia 8600, say versus the newer Nvidia240 shows a divergent result and a valid comparison. It is a simple test that can be tweaked by running a cpu test concurrently. Lets say prime 95 running and glxgears and folding@home to test a system for stress. Time the results in prime95 to set a bench.

[NightwishFan]

No, Glxgears is regarded by many as a benchmark, however it is really only optimized for under 60fps. A more accurate bechmark is an intensive OpenGL application such as Nexuiz. This thread is purely for fun.

To give you an example, my card in my laptop is a low end integrated intel. 4500m I believe. My desktop is a low end Nvidia 6150SE.

The Nvidia card gets 9000fps in glxgears, as you saw my laptop gets only around 2000. However urban terror runs at nearly the same performance on both. Perhaps when the Intel drivers improve, my laptop may even beat my desktop.
