 Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 1:55 pm Post subject: whats wrong with my nvidia 7300GS PCIE? |
 |
|
glxgears:
8341 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1668.133 FPS
i get twice as much with my FX5200LE AGP 
also if i check some xscreensavers, the fps rate of the 5200 is higher.
well, OK, the card is pretty cheap, but it shouldnt be slower, right?
hmm, i am new to PCI-Express, so maybe i have something wrong here..
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "extmod"
# Load "speedo"
Load "type1"
Load "v4l"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "dbe"
# Load "dri"
EndSection
|
| Code: |
Section "Device"
BoardName "NVIDIA"
# BusID "AGP:1:0:0"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Option "sw_cursor"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
Option "BusType" "PCIE"
# Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "true"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
# Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
VendorName "NVidia"
EndSection

i played a lot with those settings, but nothing changed 
sure glx is working and direct rendering enabled:
| Code: |
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
|
i even used older drivers - no change.
no errors in my xorg.log either.
any hints?
btw.. it also seems to share memory with my normal RAM. can i avoid this? maybe this is the problem? |

just for the sake of it.. i installed WinXP on a secondary HDD.
checked with UT (not UT2004 - the old one) at 1280 resolution. 100fps, likewise to linux.
is this card really *that* bad |

well, i installed UT2004. i get (full details) 20-30 fps on linux, 90-100fps on windows.
do i need special settings for the PCI-E card |

| Getting the same problem with a GeForce 7300LE PCIE. It's really weird; my old NVidia Ti4200 AGP got three times that framerate from glxgears. |

so what are we going to do? anyone of you registered @ the nvidia forums so we might ask them whats up?
maybe they are missing something in their linux drivers? |

| I was actually in the process of registering for those when I thought to check back at this thread. I'll be posting on the NVidia forums shortly. |

Just FYI: glxgears is not meants as a benchmark. In fact, it does very poorly in consistently showing the performance of any video card.
Its only useful quality is in evaluating whether 3D acceleration is working and whether GL libs are properly set up.
To that end, if you see any framerate under 1000, that generally means software GL. Above 1000, it generally indicates 3D acceleration is enabled.
Want to see the difference?
| Code: | sudo eselect opengl set xorg-x11 && glxgears
sudo eselect opengl set nvidia && glxgears |
That's all it's good for.

Hi grey wolf,
I am aware about this, but i get poor framerates in UT2004 as well. Dont know about the other posters here, but for me everything is fine using windows. So this must be a Driver problem? |
