You wanna be *really* impressed with how fast your card is? :-)

When running glxgears, minimise it and let it run for a minute or so.
Boy, ain't your card the fastest one on the block! :-) .

Cheers.

Interestingly enough, resizing the window smaller actually runs faster than minimized! I guess if you demand high frame rates from glxgears, just size the window as small as it will go (till gears are just couple of mm in diameter)

[pruned]

<-------- Smallest Window --------->
31087 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6217.303 FPS
32454 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6490.670 FPS
33724 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6744.711 FPS
32738 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6547.488 FPS

This could turn into a new Linux fad :-) .

I get 15522 fps with the smallest window, but!....... then try to minimise this smallest window :-) . Doing this I now get 15805 fps.

Statistics! Who needs them? :-) As my father used to tell me, "Statistics work great. For example, if I have a chicken and you have no chicken, statistics will show that we have half a chicken each so we just CANNOT go hungry".

(BTW, you will get different results, even in normal mode, when you reposition the gears window on the screen.)

Cheers.
