For the record, just did bench it. Kinda snappy:
31203 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6240.600 FPS 31111 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6222.200 FPS 30740 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6148.000 FPS 31442 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6288.400 FPS
That's w/the 7167 drivers on RHEL4 x86_64.
And now with 7174, same box:
35696 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7139.200 FPS 35680 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7136.000 FPS
Hopefully, 7174 has rectified all the issues that made 7167 somewhat sill-born for so many folks...
I've never used glxgears before, so I decided to give it a whirl on my frontend. I get *much* smaller numbers:
3057 frames in 5.0 seconds = 611.400 FPS 3172 frames in 5.0 seconds = 634.400 FPS 3162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 632.400 FPS 3173 frames in 5.0 seconds = 634.600 FPS
Of course, my system is very different from yours, so I'm curious which particular difference between the systems makes the most difference in the rendering speed.
I suspect the two most relevant factors are CPU and GPU. First, I only have an Athlon XP 2400. Second, my mobo is a 7NIF2, so I'm using the integrated MX 440. Do both of these have a big influence, or would you say one is more important than the other?
I'm curious mostly because I still see some tearing when playing DVDs and I'm wondering if I should upgrade the video card or the CPU. I'm very happy with the current quality of my TV output, though that might change if I switch to HDTV.
Thanks. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
