ATI and Armagetron vs glxgears fps


Hi,

Newbie to SuSE (and Linux overall tbh). I'm having some problems with my graphics card (suprise suprise - ATI :P).

I've got it installed via the ati linux drivers and fglrxinfo recognizes it. Problem is, glxgears is getting about 100FPS (up from 40). Armagetron gets me 450 though (up from 20). I'm unsure which one I should trust.

I'm running suse 10.0 (64b version) and the graphics card is an ATI Radeon 9250. Any help/advice on this would be most helpful.

If you have 100 FPS when running glxgears then I don't think you have installed properly your ATI graphic card, it should be much more than that. As an example, I copy the result of glxgears in my system, I have this ATI card:
Quote:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B62 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)
and this is the output of glxgears
Quote:
[victor@victor ~]$ glxgears
9403 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1880.600 FPS
9999 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1999.800 FPS
9998 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1999.600 FPS
9999 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1999.800 FPS
You can verify if you have 3d enabled with the following command:
Quote:
[victor@victor ~]$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating,
GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_OML_swap_method, GLX_SGI_make_current_read,
GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig
client glx vendor string: ATI
....
Please verify this, otherwise you need to reinstall the ATI graphic driver.

If you're using the fglrx drivers there is fgl_glxgears which comes from ATI do I'd presume it would give you more accurate figures.
