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
I'm not sure if this worked, but I followed the instructions
here -
http://clunixchit.blogspot.com/2006/10/fc6-aiglx-with-nvidia-beta-driver....
I don't think these instrux were for my version of the driver,
looking down further on that page, so I'll probably undo them.
These are my results after a fresh reboot:
glxgears
30235 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6046.989 FPS
30231 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6046.144 FPS
30411 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6082.149 FPS
30228 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6045.419 FPS
30176 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6035.012 FPS
30243 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6048.541 FPS
Only a very marginal improvement over my previous run, above
shoown.
