Re: [opensuse] nvidia driver

Downloaded the latest nvidia driver last night. (100.14.09) RPMs from the
Nvidia repo. Installed OK, but, GLXgears shows only about 2900 FPS.
Shouldn't it be much faster? I get the nvidia spalsh at bootup amd my
xorg.conf shows nvidia as the driver.

2900 fps? wow, wish I could get that many. If you were using the plain old
frame buffer you'd be lucky to get a few hundred FPS on glxgears.

Well yeah, butthe gears were in that little box. When I go full screen it
drops to about 200 FPS. The previous driver used to whip those gears so fast
you couldn't see the cogs. Don't remember the numbers.


I wonder if maybe there was a change in glxgears. At some point... I
think around the release of 10.2, I noticed that glxgears changed
visually from a blur to a much slower display. At first I thought my
video card was not set up correctly, but the terminal output seems to
be right.
19862 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3972.378 FPS
If I go full screen (1680x1050) with it, it slows down significantly
1500 frames in 5.0 seconds = 299.848 FPS

(this is with the latest nVidia drivers on a 7600GS)
