Those figures are about 30x
I have an Athlon64 3500+ (2.2 GHz), 2 GB RAM DDR400 dual-channel running 64-bit FC6.
what I'm getting after using the nvidia installer to put the most recent
The driver from Livna (or another repo, if you prefer, I forget which other one has it) is really the better way to go. I'm not sure if things are better now, but be careful if you upgrade anything related to X with the nVidia installer.
driver in. This card, and I miss-spoke is a 3DForce 6200-256. the nv driver would not even run it as well as the ATI ran, including limiting the resolution to 1440x900, which is a far cry from square pixels here.
That's a widescreen format. My LCD panel actually uses that resolution.
But after I'd installed the nvidia driver, I was back to my usual 1600x1200 and looking good, but, on the XP-2800 Athlon with a gig of 333FSB ram, glxgears, while obviously a heck of a lot smoother, isn't anywhere near that fast: 5939 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1187.719 FPS 5969 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1193.787 FPS 5961 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1192.097 FPS
A lot of that may be your CPU and RAM. These are a few times faster than the numbers Claude cited at first, which he said were on a 2.66 GHz P4. So this may be about right. Also remember that my 6600 GT is a couple steps better than your 6200. [snip]
So what do I check next? And, whats all that 'Ncon' stuff telling me?
I do not know anything about the glxinfo output. It looks like things are working to me. Jonathan
