Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 5:31 pm Post subject: ati + amd64

I've amd64 3000+ processor and card radeon 9600. I've installed ati-drivers from this side: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_on_amd64. I run glxgears to test fps and results sux:

Code:

1177 frames in 5.0 seconds = 235.232 FPS
1105 frames in 5.0 seconds = 220.997 FPS

What shuold i do to have better fps. Here is some info

Code:

# glxinfo | grep Open
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6065 (8.29.6)
OpenGL extensions:

My xorg.conf

I was told (on this forum) that this was normal, that GLXGears was not a relevant benchmark. I have the same score as you.

What is the result of

Code:

# glxinfo | grep rendering

I get

Code:

# glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes

Also, when you type "glxinfo", what is the "vendor string"? It should be ATI, i think.
EDIT: i didn't see you posted it. Great.

Yeah, that's about what I got for my fps. Before with my radeon xpress 200m, I got 500fps or so with the open-source radeon driver. Once I installed the ati driver, I am now getting around 200-250fps with the ati driver (and that's with a laptop card). Basically the only thing I got back was 3d-rendering for losing all that fps. I am not sure that ati has completely finished the driver for 9600. You do have 3d-rendering though. You can test 3d-rendering with ati's prop. app fgl_glxgears. It should already be installed.

BS! Things are not right if you are seeing poor peformance from glxgears.

Which version of ati-drivers are you using? I thought I was clinging to 8.24.8 but that ebuild is dead and portage picked a substitute for me without much fanfare.

Anyhow, here's some things to check against:

Code:

$ grep ati-driver /etc/portage/package.keywords
=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.24.8

$ emerge -s ati-drivers
* x11-drivers/ati-drivers

Also I looked at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_on_amd64 and I'm not doing a lot of their stuff. For instance I am not using modules for AGP:

Code:

$ zgrep -i agp /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y
# CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set

I do have IOMMU set

Code:

$ zgrep -i mmu /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_MMU=y
CONFIG_GART_IOMMU=y
