And what sort of a cpu etc do you have there? Those figures are about 30x what I'm getting after using the nvidia installer to put the most recent 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. 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
Currently, at home, I'm experiencing a big system barf. If I try to run GLXgears, the screen blacks out and after a few moments, it returns me to a log-in screen. Can't give any time to this this am because I have to go to an appointment. The figures I cited were from my work machine which is a 2.66 GHz P4, if I'm not mistaken - I'll double-check that when I get in. This machine is a dual-core 2.66 MHz w/ 2 GB ram.
I've not made the jump to a dual core anything yet, but I can see it in the future I believe. I'll be waiting so we can compare notes.
