With glxgears, I see the gears update about 15 times in 10 seconds,
and
the results are (AMD athlon 2600+, 512ram, nvidia fx5600)# glxgears
888 frames in 5.4 seconds = 165.811 FPS
798 frames in 5.0 seconds = 158.416 FPS
912 frames in 5.7 seconds = 161.284 FPS
798 frames in 5.0 seconds = 158.274 FPS
798 frames in 5.1 seconds = 155.004 FPS
It's hard to tell if this is just a stobing effect ;-)
I think it was at least an order of magnitude higher in FC4 - from
memory approximately 5000 f/s (but perhaps only with the nvidia
(non-open) driver).
Bill: this would seem to fit the *significantly* term: is this what
others see ?
Actually, this wouldn't - the default nv driver doesn't support 3D
acceleration - the nvidia (non-open) driver does. So it's comparing
apples to oranges.
