OK, in fairness, the frame rates are faster than the current two ati |
| 13 |
versions (8.28.8 and 8.29.6) but not faster than what I used to get with |
| 14 |
ati drivers, pre modular xorg. According to the ati forums, the new |
| 15 |
versions are more CPU friendly, and hence leave all the 3D up to the |
| 16 |
card, or something. |

All I know is this: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
glxgears: |
| 21 |
ati-drivers 8.28.8 / 8.29.6 ~ 700 FPS |
| 22 |
x11-drm-20060608 radeon ~ 1500 FPS |
| 23 |
older x11 drivers ~ 400 FPS |
| 24 |
older ati-drivers (pre 8.18.x) ~ 2600 FPS |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
this is on: |
| 27 |
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility |
| 28 |
Radeon 9600 M10] |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
And no comments about glxgears, I know it's not an accurate benchmark, |
| 31 |
but these figures are reflected in general performance, screensavers, |
| 32 |
games, etc, which I can't benchmark. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
YMMV of course :) |

Intuition, however illogical, is recognized as a command prerogative. |
