I am using gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r7
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ian $ glxgears 3856 frames in 5.0 seconds = 771.200 FPS 4194 frames in 5.0 seconds = 838.800 FPS 4094 frames in 5.0 seconds = 818.800 FPS 4107 frames in 5.0 seconds = 821.400 FPS 4153 frames in 5.0 seconds = 830.600 FPS
I don't know how those match up to others, but it certainly is faster than my old Voodoo.
Hmm, using the same kernel and a Radeon 8500LE, (now cheaper than that nVidia card), and 16bpp, (same as you), I get:
7485 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1497.000 FPS 8763 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1752.600 FPS 8744 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1748.800 FPS 8764 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1752.800 FPS
That is using ATI's official drivers. I get slightly faster with the DRI offerings, but they don't draw textures properly.
Personally I have various problems with the ATI drivers, such as Neverwinter Nights locking completely after 5 seconds of playing. The DRI drivers work in these circumstances, but the textures are all messed up, (still playable). From what I can discern, this is something most ATI user's don't see.
I would suspect a Radeon 9600 or whatever they're on now, would not have these problems, and is going to be a shedload faster than my 8500LE.
