Its only a decent milepost to see if you've got the nvidia drivers working well or not. I have another box that clocks only 900fps (TwinView GF FX 5200 setup), but the system can still play back HDTV perfectly fine. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got a question?

I read somewhere it is because the mmu is on the CPU. So either Nvidia needs to make a module specific to AMD64 or AGPGART needs to improve for AMD64. I don't know which. Not a kernel hacker.

Is it possible to find out what color depth I'm using? My xorg.conf has two "SubSection "Display""s, one with depth = 16 and another with depth = 24. And how do you enable NvAGP?

I depends on your color depth and your screen size. Try to set your color depth to 16bit and you'll get much better values and you won't see any difference to 32bit. 2005/4/18, Andy Alsup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks for the feedback.

Andy, You should use NvAGP, I switched over from AMD64_AGPGART (939pin northbridge driver) and gained 1000fps on my 5700 Ultra. I see ~5100 fps with glxgears. -Greg On 4/17/05, Andy Alsup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll try to fine tune some and see > if I can get better numbers then.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll try to fine tune some and see if I can get better numbers then. Are you guys using agpgart? module or built in? Got to do some reading on mode lines first though. I was very dissapointed to learn about overscan today on my rptv... Must figure these issues out before I let the wife see HD on the TV.

Couple noob questions because I'm curious: With glxgears at the default size, I am getting 1130 fps on a fx5200 using driver 7174 on a P4 3.2Ghz with smp kernel. Should I be happy with that number? My Radeon 9550 was getting 360 at best, and usually 120. I have seen others comparing larger numbers, but how does this demo actually compare to HD playback performance? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
