What type of graphics card do you have?

wisdom · 12-02-2005, 10:06 AM

Geforce FX 5200 128MB /TV out /DVI

Then that sounds about right for the 5 series. I would reccomend if you got a few extra bucks going with the 6400/6800 if you want to upgrade here is my glxgears output

32253 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6450.600 FPS
36368 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7273.600 FPS
36772 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7354.400 FPS
36998 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7399.600 FPS
36722 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7344.400 FPS
36691 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7338.200 FPS

No problem

quick note - whilst its running glxgears, dont block out the actual gears window, or itl vastly change the framerate listing in the console.

Where do I find the results of the glxgears test?

Mojojo · 01-02-2006, 07:12 PM

type glxgears in your console

Electro · 01-02-2006, 09:07 PM

The utility glxgears is not a true test. It only shows OpenGL is working. I suggest running benchmark scripts in Unreal Tournament or Quake to test the video card and system.
