That seems rather low. But glxgears is a poor benchmark as it is also closely tied to your CPU and other factors. I have a (PNY) 6600 GT with 128 MB Video RAM and I get: (with AIGLX enabled) $ glxgears 19516 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3903.179 FPS 28603 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5720.504 FPS 27597 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5519.237 FPS 28336 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5661.658 FPS (without AIGLX) $ glxgears 37436 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7487.071 FPS 36616 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7322.496 FPS 37653 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7530.581 FPS 36758 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7351.457 FPS
Compared to your figures, you're right. How do you enable AIGLX? Just ran mine again and got a little better:
glxgears 29690 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5937.964 FPS 29435 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5886.995 FPS 29941 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5988.032 FPS 29827 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5965.388 FPS 30001 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6000.092 FPS 29802 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5960.290 FPS
