ah...that looks familiar

i thought i could get more out of that card when i saw your figures,
but now i think the config is ok.

also thanks

See, I don't get that... This subject has been of great interest to me for quite some time now but I've never been able to figure out how to get extraordinary results like that. I always assume someone is pulling my leg (which, by the way, I haven't entirely ruled out)... Can you post your config section please? Now, I realize that a FX5200 is pretty much bottom of the barrel for Nvidia cards, but you think that I could be able to pull higher FPS that what I am on a 128mb GPU...

Code:

[root@jaguar ~] glxgears
5650 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1130.000 FPS
6528 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1305.600 FPS
6275 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1255.000 FPS
6056 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1211.200 FPS
6349 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1269.800 FPS
6300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1260.000 FPS
6167 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1233.400 FPS
6022 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1204.400 FPS
6381 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1276.200 FPS
6262 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1252.400 FPS
6153 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1230.600 FPS

Ugh... That irritates me. I've always gotten a constant 1305 but now it's being wierd... Anyway... You get the point.

So what gives anyway? I wish people would stop posting insanely ridiculous results so I could just stop worrying about it....

EDIT- Ohh.. I thought I saw 5 digit results and assumed you were full of it...

(I was looking at your frames). That's still pretty good.. Would you mind posting your config section just for giggles? I have a feeling that I'm just working with a crap card that never should have been manufactured in the first place. I've never read anything good about 5200's, except that they are good for using as a paper weight...

kak · 06-17-2005, 10:33 PM

More than likely your numbers are about right. I am not even sure if the 5200 can fill the full 128mb of ram.

Mine just for kicks:
Nvidia 6800gt 256mb pci-express on the 7664 driver.
AMD Athlon64 3500+ w/2GB ram
1280x1024 @ 75hz

jong357 · 06-17-2005, 10:45 PM

Phifttt...

What did that card cost you? Your first born son? Way too pricey for my blood...

I think your right. Thats probably about what my card can handle. So that card runs allright with the nvidia drivers huh? I've been wondering about the newer nvidia cards under linux.

kak · 06-17-2005, 10:51 PM

No........it just cost half of my first born

(nice tax return this year.....what else would I spend it on?? a bigger badder computer for linux, of course)
And yes, Nvidia still has great support for linux. Which is why both home pc's run Nvidia graphics cards (6800GT & FX5700Ultra) and nForce chipsets (2 & 4).

NVIDIA 6600TE 128mb under 1400x1050
here's the kicker: was runnning this under kde with firefox open, azurues, xchat, gaim, and freeciv minimized. O did I say it was a laptop?

patrickdepingui · 06-18-2005, 05:46 AM

I have a Radeon 32MB DDR.
Setting the EnablePageFlip option doesn't seem to change much. Without it it's even slightly better (809.600 against 809.200).

All I need to do after altering the xorg.conf file is ending the current KDE session right?

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "** ATI Radeon (generic)               [radeon]"
    Driver      "radeon"
    #    Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" #seems no improvement to me..
    #VideoRam    32768
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

Is there something I'm missing here?

neo · 06-18-2005, 06:06 AM

how come people are so into glxgears benchmarks. it is like one of the very few apps that even use opengl. once you get good glxgears benchmarks then what do u do with it. you are hardpressed to find and opengl app for linux. the only thing would be cedega, but why run a game in linux when you can run the same game in xp with much better performance?

jong357 · 06-18-2005, 08:25 AM

What about native/ported Linux games? Yes, they are out there...

I can only play Doom3 at 640x480 res on Linux or Windows. That's one of the main reasons why I'm pissed about my Frame Rates and my card in general... If I just played frozen bubble all the time, it wouldn't be too big of a deal...

bird603568 · 06-18-2005, 09:20 AM

Well theres ET, UT2004(which i pay and am not to good at), quake, doom and some others. I think far cry run on linux. Also there is scorched3d and multimedia apps that can use opengl.
