And what sort of a cpu etc do you have there? 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.

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.
