And And I turn to thee, for Ubuntu has failed me...

I like the fact that the open source nVidia drivers can reach resolutions like 1024x768, and that they *WORK* when you install a new linux operating system. I like that it works great until i replace it with the nvidia proprietary driver.

But it doesn't have the performance of the nVidia proprietary, and i like performance.

Good job to everyone working on the OSS nVidia driver. without them i'd be stuck with 640x480 16-color resolution until i get the official driver up

Usually my nVida Geforce 4 TI 4200 will get around 200/300 FPS with the open source nvidia driver, and 3000+ with the nvidia driver

Fullscreen or default size?

Also, what specs does your system have? :cool:

I get about 1629 fps default size and 176fps fullscreen using the official Nvidia 1.0-7174 driver

On this system :
ECS K7S5A Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
512mb PC2100 DDR RAM
PNY Verto Geforce FX 5700LE 128mb
Slackware Linux 10.1 DVD Version (running WindowMaker)

Is that good? :scared:

Not particularly, My Geforce 3 does 2600fps at default window size. (AthlonXP 2100 Palomino + 512MB PC2700)
You've probably got some memmory bottleneck issues, but bear in mind glxgears is a bad benchmark.

Couldn't care less. I was stuck with the VESA driver on Slackware 9 until I installed the one from nVidia.

Heh... the guy (the one with the graphics card problem) just got his Shipit CDs... twenty of them. He nearly jizzed his pants out of excitement and disbelief!

Well, my motherboard can only handle PC2100 DDR at the max, I also am using the default BIOS, and I have a stick of 256mb PC2100 Generic DDR and another stick which is Elixir 512mb PC3200 DDR, your RAM is faster and your CPU is also a bit faster (our CPUs have the same core, however.)

The 5700LE sucks.  Getting 1600fps may not be so bad.  I get 2500 or so on the regular 5700, sometimes 3000.

The GeForce4 MX 440, by comparision, gets around 900 but Tux Racer still plays great.  Glxgears may not mean much.

[Jenda]

OK... he gets 90,4 fps. What can I conclude?

i got mx 440, glxgears get average over 8000 fps with nvidia drivers

I realise that, but it's the only thing I could get at the time., and it holds up pretty well, so I'm fine with that

90 FPS on glxgears?

you can conclude that the computer as-is will not be doing much as far as video goes
