Nvidia and OpenGL


What is the best way to test if your Nvidia drivers are installed correctly and OpenGL is working.?

glxgears will run regardless, what FPS are you getting? If your drivers aren't working you'll be getting something like 200FPS, if they are working then it depends on your card, I got around 6000FPS on my 6600GT and 15000FPS on my 7900GT. Obviously it varies a lot depending on your card.

Code:
glxinfo | grep direct
Will work under most conditions too.
